Wow, what a beast! Nice rig!!

Couple questions if you don't mind:

How tall is it to the top of the cab?
Is it drivable right now?

Anyone have an idea if this could be imported to the U.S.?

right now its about 9'5". would probably sag a bit since the springs are new.

the truck is not drivable now. needs the brake plumming done.

the truck started out as a 1988 hino fb. just check to see if there are any around your are for sale. i susspect they are sold all over north america.

Yeah, I've been watching it too. Price would have to come down quite a bit more, then it's got a couple of years to go to meet the 25 year rule, and it's a bit lightweight for RV use. Someone could have lots of fun with it though!

I think Mog should buy it, yep, I do.

Let see, we pull the cab and engine and stick them in the back of my Fuso, and tow the ‘frame’ home. Telling the guys at the border that it is just ‘parts’. The border guys will be more curious about the 3 metric tons of Tim Horton donuts I will have in the back of the Fuso and overlook everything else. Reassemble the truck once it is safe south of the border. Sounds like a plan cuz’ I love that truck.
D’oh, did I just post our top-secret plan on the Internet.

Come on, someone needs to buy this truck and finish it. Please !

And then you need to pull the cab off your Fuso, mount it on the back of the Hino, and rename it the FuNo. And add another axle in the front, because you know you want an 8x8, and that Tatra is on the other coast. We could tow the frame back, but put a flatbed on it and call it a homebuilt trailer :coffee:

Gimme some'a them donuts
