Looking sharp Clayton!! What is that; about a 300" wheelbase? I'm planning on a similar wheelbase on my H model Mack that I'm building for the build off. Looking forward to seeing more!!

 

No, it's not quite that long. It's about 240 inch. The COE really makes it look longer. Once I get almost done, I'll take a pic of it next my KW that's 305 inch. Thanks for the compliment. Lookin forward to seeing your build off truck.

That makes two of us Sean. I'm hoping to get some time in the coming long weekends to.get more done. It was nice to feel like I was in a groove and getting some things figured out.

Thanks man. Seems I got some motivation goin.

 

I got some done today on this. I decided on the intake and exhaust system.

I'm gonna use the Revell kit stacks, the Revell breathers and lids, but added some aluminum tubing to extend it upright, above the cab. I also sprayed on some CAT yellow on the 3406.

Here's a taped up, mock up of the intake and exhaust.

I saw one of these on the road about 2 weeks ago with this exhaust setup and all I could do was drool.....I couldn't get a shot of it, though.....It was on the other side of the freeway....

I dusted this build off, started to check things. I discovered that there's a clearance issue with interior tub and the top of the motor. If I didn't have so many things going on personally, I would've tackled the problem. I instead changed my mind to the ol Detroit. Which in turn saves me a few more headaches. The exhaust will be much simpler, the intake will still be a project, but that's ok. The exhaust and intake setup is too cool, it's staying.

Hey Clayton, First, I really am looking forward to seeing how you work over a C.O.E. Here is a little wheelbase tease. Some times the things that give you the most trouble, give you the most satisfaction overcoming those difficulties. No matter what, persevere.
