Matt,
I am needing to make my Sims cab fit onto a tractor. I have the 782 & the 782 parts tractor to work with right now. I do not want to put the cab on the 982 I have. I bought a QA42a blower this past fall
I want to use it with the cab and which ever tractor I use. My issue is the cab I bought first of all is for a super, second it has a different door than the others I have seen. It is this style of cab
So I was figuring of buying a super roller frame and building a tractor with my 782 parts. That way I would have the longer frame so the cab would fit. I then would need to find the correct fender pan or modify the doors I have to fit the square type fenders of an 82 series. Which I think I could still do since I think there is enough meat left of the door to reshape the curve on the back side where it meets the window. Then others pointed out, think it was Art, that I would have issues with the blower reaching the ground using the taller tires from a super. So I am thinking a low rider super, so use the regular tires off the 782, and stretch the frame of the 782, that way the blower fits right, the cab fits right, and all my body panels fit right too. I would just have to reshape the doors on the cab, and get a tunnel cover for between the seat and the steering column the correct length, like they use on the supers. So thats how I threw everyone into the frame length discussion.
Are we thinking right? I know you had put the cab on your super, but you already had a blower meant for a super and well, your cab had the matching doors to your fenders.
I kinda like the idea of reshaping the doors from the stand point of making "fenders" like Art has on his tractor and you as well. I like how they over hang the fender pan and would likely keep the windows cleaner too since more of the tires are covered up and preventing spray up onto the side windows. It also looks more finished looking.
