the allison is by no means a skinny girl, plus the eaton fullers are much shorter, I have a 15 spd which is a 9 speed with a deep reduction gear box that will go in one some day that looks like it would fit that space. The frame rails are the same width as class 8 trucks so it should not be a...
every trucker I have talked to said that it is the same cab as the older interational's, it should be super easy to retrofit a tilt nose on it since the radiator and such are already cross braced in.
I was going to do this for a ntc400 swap into a 813 I had, at the time the 9 series were not at auction like they are now, I would just as soon buy an 9 series, sell the 8 series and be ahead of the game.
Hi Guys, Mark Green has a really nice cross reference for the m35 series trucks and the link recently changed. I contacted him and he shared the new link with me so I thought I would pass it on.

Plus if you would look at the lines in my signature you would see that I have done a few...
finished product
Ok guys here is the final product, will sell it in the classifieds for two weeks and in craigslist and then it will go to ebay for auction.
If it was for my private collection I would have done just that, the problem with elmoing a truck is that there is soo much time and labor into it that it narrows my market and clientele, not only that but with Sheila (My M920) she is the only 6mpg rig I can afford to have in the fleet! :|
yeah, she was hardly recognizable as a bridge truck after the county got a hold of her, I am just trying to make her look military again... with a twist!
Lets see, there was me, my boy (blonde in the bed), my cousin(the other guy) and his kid (the blonde with the luggage), my girlfriend and her two boys (all brown hair) and my girlfriends niece. It was like herding cats, I did all of the razor work and tried to teach taping on the fly, it was a...
