I will post pics once I get this dialed in. The big cam cummins looks like the way to go. There seem to be plenty of parts laying around for it too. It seems to be quite difficult finding the right cabover. I dont know when I will find the right one. I'm torn between an aerodyne or a pete 352/362. I like being able to stand up in the aerodyne, but is it as classic as an old flat top flat faced pete?

I found a youtube vid of a freightliner powerliner 2 axle with a kta-600. The kta is slamming the cab around just sitting there idling. DAMN!

Heres another one of it. In my opinion the best sounding truck ever.
