I finally hauled it back to ND where I work, since that time I've stripped it down for its preparation http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/a...4EED82B8DF.jpg Since this last photo, the winch fuel tanks air lines and air brake system & wiring harness have been removed. An initial steam clean, cutoff approx 20" of rear frame to reduce departure angle. Purchased an 8V92TA Detroit Diesel (DD) from Gov Liq' auction http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/a...ACF695456D.jpg Engine is missing a few parts but is essentially a very low hr use engine, almost like new internally. Purchased these NOS Hutchinson 2piece forged aluminum 10x20 beadlock wheels, also ex US Army (thanks US tax payers) http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/a...832F8CD722.jpg These will be polished on the outside face You can also follow me on my FB Group page where I undated regularly https://www.facebook.com/groups/tatratrucks/ |
Nice! Thanks for sharing and updating.
What are your plans for it in the future? |
Thanks for the update Shaun & the FB link (pending) i had sent the F350 picture to my cousin asking how is it possible for him to be legally towing a Tatra?
He replied "it vill pull it" (yes that accent) east Europeans are short on conversation. LoL But reading the FB page i see it was minus its engine, that cleared up some confusion. Mezo. |
Re Towing
First photo towing was from the guy who collected my truck from the port
That is Ford F450 1.25T rating The White GMC is mine that I purchased for this tow etc, it's a 3500 Ie a 1ton, the combination grossed 39.500 lbs it's legal based on tyre Load ratings etc if my memory is correct axle weights were Ft 5500 Dr 11000 Trl 23000 |
Future plan
Quote:
(Roll over protection) internal cab cage. Would really like to enter the Breslau Rally that runs from Poland to Germany if I can secure a sponsor. Later build a rugged camper body that will latch onto the 5th wheel plate |
