LOWERING A LEGACY E7 NON-POWERED B-UNIT

Former Member

I'm going to repaint a Legacy E7 B unit to go with my Santa Fe TMCC E6 A units. I know, they didn't have E7's....that's why I'm not posting in the 3RS forum

Upon tearing down the B -unit to be stripped, I noticed the E7 sits a lot higher than the E6's due to a different truck and frame design. Has anyone lowered their E7 units to close that huge gap between the body and the trucks? I thought there was a thread from awhile back but couldn't find it.

Picked this up off Ebay for $95, non powered unit with a broken coupler and diaphragm. I'm going to mount Kadee's anyway so I don't care about the coupler.

Soda blasted all the lettering and stripes off in preparation for prime and paint.
