James Maynard Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Has anyone here built a Marmon 110 cabover? Please tell me how to mount the cab to the frame. The donor frame is a AMT Freightliner cabover frame. I don't plan on making the cab tilt I just need to now what is the best mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If you don't want it to tilt I imagine you could use Evergreen strips to make vertical posts from the frame to the bottom of the interior. The rear of the cab should have rests where it sits on the frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I usually try to replicate the real thing. Here you can see the hinge assembly. In the second photo you can see the rear cab rests. If you are using the big grille, you may have more trouble getting it to tilt in scale due to clearance. If you are going to make it non-tilt, the front mount isn’t going to be seen, so it doesn’t matter much. I use Evergreen and Plastruct. I also use brass and aluminum tube as well as doll house hinges for tilting sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Maynard Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Ok guys thank you this will help hopefully. I think I'll try the evergreen method. I was at a complete stand still on this one. My 57P went on it's frame pretty good I only had to cut two pieces of evergreen to rest the back of the sleeper on but this cabover just didn't look like it would fit at all.
