  10. You know I know almost nothing about b models but I think the frame is narrow front and back be a lot easier to make up cab mounts then trying to transfer components that’s what I would do... bob
  11. You’re almost better off to just take your cab and nose and put them on that frame seems a lot easier and you’re B model probably Doesn’t have any top end I am sure that R model has longer legs good luck... bob
