    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Nice work. Good engineering and execution. I really like the modularity of this. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    The MK48 is a strange beast when backing up. Given its articulation, the rear of the vehicle goes out of sight quickly. Perhaps thats why the big brackets. They do stick way out. I have broken the small spotter mirror because it sticks so far out and hangs up on everything. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I have over 30 years experience in the design and manufacture of industrial food process and chemical process equipment and systems. With this I am more than qualified to give a thumbs up on Soni design and fabrication skills. His work looks elegant and clean-not cluttery-nice proportions and...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Why did you have to post those pictures? Its 10 degrees below zero here in St Paul. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Good one-clever response. Thats a nice looking 5-ton. I really like them in tan. Pete

    Your work looks "factory". Nice job. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Beautiful work here. The way you have integrated the ROPS to the frame (presumably mounts from old cab) is really really nice. The doghouse looks great-all of it is so well done. Looks like you will have some fun options for fenders and exhaust. On a side note-master fab-creator jessie James...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Lines flow nice-the integration of clevice, stiffener bar-super nice. Industrial art here folks. I like how protected the radiator will be too. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Now I see-you have a great path for air here. Its stealthy-I likey. If she gets warm, you could easily add a couple of electric fans on the front. Man-thats going to be a way cool truck. I am going to do a road trip to Arizona to pick up a Mule M274 from another SS member. If you are located on...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Airflow to radiator. There must be a lot of space in front of the radiator to rear of doghouse. If there isnt enough airflow to cool, you could add airflow through the top of doghouse. With a large squarish hole in cab directly above doghouse-and a mesh screen with maybe a discrete scoop on roof...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Cooling. With the large doghouse in front of the radiator, what are you planning for cooling? MK cab and doghouse provides plenty of opportunities here. Pete

    Nice looking welds-good job. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Fast is a relative term. If you are driving a Trabant in Moscow only to be passed by a Ladda, you would say the Ladda is fast. Pete

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I have an extra MK48 cab that I was thinking about installing on my M923. I will be watching your progress. Your fabrication skills are top notch. Pete
