Here's one that I had saved that just jumped out at me. It's from a Fuso build over on Expo Portal in the "other overlander trucks" forum. If I recall, the Fuso even has a forward section of frame that curves up along the trans. Not exactly what I was thinking of. I have pics of habs being...

You bring up a good point with the trans, though. The OP is looking to lower his frame/COG/hab. He will have to incorporate a "hump" into the design to allow for the trans (and it's gonna be a BIG hump protruding into the hab). Else he'll have to raise it to the height of the M1079 hab (which...

More like Styre to Steward & Stevenson. ;) You know that *I* know about the trans protruding (keep in mind I was going the ambo route same as you before I found the M1079). And you and I both know that many builds have accounted for the trans protrusion. If you look at the other image that...

Ah, the two maim frame rails are part of all S&S M-series trucks as far as I know . Are you thinking of the little 3rd frame member that it part of the M1079 hab? IMO, deleting the secondary chassis will leave you twisting the frame like the 12M18 trucks do...
