Martin, I have no idea what the posts on that Board said, but that is one serious piece of machinery!

It's a FAUN Truck with a Magirus- Cab and a 16 Zylinder (2 X 8) Cummins Engine built for the Mammut- Andino Company in Chile or Peru. Now, this Monster Truck is in the hand of a collector in Germany. Our Forum member Jochen took photos an built it completely scratch. It's more a locomotive than a truck  Martin |

Dennis,
I like the way you did the front axle, the use of the brass rod. Are those brass nuts?
Be Well

Hello
Project looks awesome. Have you thought about oil field trucks, that kind of tires would be fit to it. I guess that engine is from revell Kenworth w900.
Good luck and I'm waiting for more updates.

Good luck and I'm waiting for more updates. Thank you Mike. You're correct about the engine. I find the snap kits are a great source of parts! I do have a KW 900 tractor built for oilfield use...I'll post pics in the next day or so. |
