mopar68 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Excellent tutorial Luke, maybe you should copy it into a new thread in the 'Tips and Tricks' section of the forum too, for easy finding? Not a truck builder (yet lol), so I may never use this tutorial, but I appreciate the to-the-point explanation and super-clear pics as much as the next bloke.

BigBad Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Alright, where we at with this beast? I'm working on the Kenworth counterpart and following the steps! The suspension is even easier to lower on this one! The hood and battery boxes would be difficult to relocate if I lowered the cab on the frame as you did so it stays at the stock level. I took your method for lenghtening the frame. It's starting to look pretty good! I'm deciding on a DD 8V71 from the Titan or an 8V92 from the General now to replace the Cat. I broke a rear axle while working on the suspension so I got the rear wheels and metal axles from an AMT Freightliner. I'm not highjacking your post! I'll start my own subject when I get pictures for this one! Edited September 26, 2012 by BigBad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
