So my insperation came from the King of Obsolete on last season of Ice Road Truckers. This truck is a mixed parts truck like some thing you might find in canada or alaskan junk yard

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.

I see you have a stick shift, so what about the trans?

[tbill]

I'm digging it, cool project.

I'm still diggin thru parts i have to cut out hole in the floor were the shifters are on the real trucks they were mounted to the chasis and sealed to the floor witha gasket

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.

I have the trans from the ln8000 is that a manual

[guitarsam326]

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!
