Default Look what I found

Remember that Cabover we were talking about here http://www.classadrivers.com/forum/a...bovers-jb.html what the hell it was doing in my small podunk town I have no idea, but just from walking around the outside, I gotta say this damn thing is awesome.

With the plans completed, it was time to cut and stretch the frame rails to a 325 inch wheel base. The next task was to move the drive train back to the diffs and couple them with a 22 inch driveshaft. Moving the engine and trans to mid-ship allowed the Argosy's cab to be locked down permanently. An insulated hatch in the floor of the coach and removable side panels allow for easy engine access and service. Included in this mid-ship design was a method of removing the power plant by easily dropping it out the bottom of the frame rails.


Got that info from another forum i go to.

Damn - with a truck like that, I wouldn't wanna come home. Kitchen, toilet, shower, double bed. Ya - I could deal with that. Now, who wants to make the payments on that beast?
