It comes in different flavours and a lot that was used in trucks are 1:1 in 6th.

I do have them, it's a Om352A 168hp engine fortunately!

Thanks, please do! There's nothing for sale here in Denmark... And I really wanted a 1113, love the look, and that the engine is in front, without the hood being too long.

I have a LAF1113B, bought in the Netherlands! What turbo are you using?

I doubt MAN is the most common truck, but that doesn't matter, the KAT1 is no ordinary MAN! And less than 10.000 units have been built from 1975 up until early 2019. No ordinary MAN supplier will have parts for these. Just look at those axles... Although questionable, the one your are looking...

And you are in Norway? I'm from Denmark. First of all spend a lot of time gathering information and draw on the experience of others, not necessarily asking directly, but just looking at blogs, in forums, youtube etc. Find out what your actual needs are, and be prepared to revise them again and...

It would be much easier to help you, if you gave a bit more information such as: What is your experience with 4x4's, trucks, overlanding, expedition vehicles? What is your level of competence mechanically? can/have you built/worked on trucks etc. before? What are your plans, both travel-wise...

Regarding CO posioning, gas engines produce more CO than diesel, because CO is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. Since diesels get all the air they need, they don't produce as much CO. But truckers have died from CO poisioning in rigs too, look it up. And I suspect a number of deaths in...

It's so sad to see a project like this probably standed on the beaches of Oblivion. The potential, workmanship and ingenuity are all A+, and something that I really miss following here...

Right now I'm working on some rust in the cab. The signal orange paint is extremely thick, and I've found that it has some accident damage. The right wing has been changed, and it must be after 1990, since the spare parts sticker says "Made in Germany", which must be after East and West Germany...

Well… where to begin… Long story short on the hibernation part of the project is, that we found our dream place! I won’t say house, because we already built our dream house, but the location was not the dream site. So we moved from that, to an old runddown house, no barn, no shop, but 7.5ac of...

Sorry for the very late reply! The superstructure i.e. cab and living quarters are mounted on the original position up front. This is almost inline with the pedals and steering shaft transversely, so I don't expect any additional movement there.

I just remembered I have a thread on it here! It just haven´t been updated in 4 years... D**n, has it really been that long?!? A lot have happened since then, which took me away from the project for quite some time, new house, building a new shop etc., but I'm back on it now, and will update the...

They do twist like a uncooked bratwurst! There's someting in the design, that seem sort of counterproductive, hear me out: There is a absolutely massive rear sway bar, and from your pictures it's obvious that it's really effective, the rear axle is all but perfectly parallel to the frame. So...

Cool pics! And surprisingly many Volvos!?

I just read through your entire thread in one go, instead of tidbits over the years. One thing stands out: You and your ability to not get fazed by problems, difficulties, shops with less than stellar service, and even problems that are outside your current knowledge. You seem to tackle every...

Heffalump, did you even look at the link I sent? It explains exactly what it is, and even has all the parts numbers including the O-ring?

I It seems to be an oil filter? https://mb-teilekatalog.info/view_SubGroupAction.php?lang=G&mode=BM&class=6&aggtyp=M&catalog=38P&model=364983&spmno=0&group=18&sanum=083063&stroke=07&sasubgrp=001

Reg. Humanness check-in, I hear you and what you are going through. Thank you for sharing. I hope the clouds will let some ray of light let you see the path ahead does have an end, and you are closer than ever!
