Scott S Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 lol, you aint kidding dennis, i'd like to know the story behind it. 50 k rears 20 k f/a but the legnth would prohbit any real weight on the frame. our thoughts were it was set up for an rv style bunk and maybe to pull a stacker..ie: auto and reletively small power (475) maybe aussie or some where theres exceptionaly long straight stretches.

Ben Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I've seen that truck. They use it to deliver the mail. In two zip codes at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Uh... how does that thing go around a corner? Does it just go right over the house on the corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Notice how it says it was built for export, but the customer never picked it up. Perhaps it was for somewhere with plenty of large straight roads, like Australia (3 150 gallon fuel tanks!)

highway Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Check this thing out. someones gonna have to build it..lol T-800 445" wheelbase......yikes!!! and it is a tractor.. Scott I got it covered, Scott! Ok, so it's not a T800, and this one only has a 345" wheelbase, but it's close enough! oh heck scott its only 37 feet long, lol once ya get that thing around the corner ya outa be able to master pullin a 60 footer!! yigity yikes!!! dennis By the way, Dennis, my big Ford is about 38 scale feet long, and I'm pulling a 40' trailer, too!

Scott S Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 lol, Matt, i was wonderin if you'd pop in with that monster... that thing is huge!!

Old Albion Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Is this one of those oil field trucks? I've seen some photo's of them fitted with a flat deck and a fifth wheel sunk below the level of the deck. Does it have a power tower on the transmission for a winch? Not sure didn't check the e-bay details. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Dave, dosent appear to have much @ all, justa lotta frame and a fifth wheel, the people that have it dont know story, its been shipped around to try and get rid of it, forign buyer stiffed kw, miles are from moving it around country... only way to realy sell it here in states is cut it down, u can get around emissions if ya know how to do it.

Scott Yep, you should have known I'd pop in with the beast with the title for the thread! By the way, why do I need to worry if I'm overweight or not? DOT scales are meant to be driven around, aren't they?!? You added the weight up pretty good, too! You do make one slight mistake, though. The big dog will have a 1,000 gallon liquid capacity. I figure the front 4 tanks are 150 gallons each and the last 4 are 100 gallons each, and only 6 are fuel tanks, for 800 gallons of fuel. The back 2 are for water for the sink and shower in the sleeper! Oh, and I did have my HAZMAT at one time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Scott, one will be potable and the other is for the stinky stuff! And speaking of the stinky stuff, we're truckers, what do you expect! I've stirred my fair share! I don't have much use for the scales, either! I just have to make sure I don't go through Frostburg, MD with the Ford, those (insert your favorite four letter [or longer] word here ) put me out of service more than once AND gave me the tickets to go with it! I just never found a good way to get around them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinac359 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Most likely spec'd for oilfield export. Drom box with pump equipment is what comes to mind. To be legal in the USA you'd need to install an '08+ emissions compliant engine and DPF. There might be other USA mandated features/functions that were omitted from the build.

ZIL 111V Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Oil field export indeed. Looks like a special order workhorse for export markets: Middle East or Mexico/South American oil producing coutries. ...Filling all fuel tanks of this "Mamoth" in OPEC countries not so hard on wallet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
