Superpeterbilt Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Very cool man. Ive often thought of doing this. What motor are you planning on using? Are you gonna go with a vertical stack, or a weed burner? This set up looks awesome. The frame length looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The reason I asked about the trans is I have several c series trucks but I don't like the automatic trans that comes with the kit, so I cut the pan off mine and turned it upside down then added a top plate, I know it isn't correct but it looks ok.

blazefox Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I have the trans from the ln8000 is that a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarsam326 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) No sir, it's the same trans behind the 534, but you can cut it up some and make it believable, I would also suggest the engine from the ln8000 because it's a diesel and you have tandem axles but that's just me. I really wish someone out there would cast a Clark 5 speed or some other medium duty trans. But aside all the technicalities, I really like where this build is going!
