    Haul truck is either a Cat 793B or C. Don't remember for sure. Truck I think was a C500 Kenworth. That's all I know for sure. I was just there to tear the Cat trucks apart for transport overseas somewhere.

    That's a lot of axles on that trailer. I feel bad for the guy that gets to replace the brakes and tires. My back is screaming in pain just with 2 axles.

    Thank you.

    I'd prefer to avoid that as well.

    I don't care WHO "started" it. I am finishing it, and RIGHT NOW.

    Any more political posts in here will result in the poster not posting in this thread anymore.

    This isn't a normal Dodge Power Wagon of course. This one is equipped with the Willock Chassis Swivel. The front end and the back end of the truck can swivel with respect to each other to keep the wheels in contact with the ground. Just very few were build like this. The Mercedes Unimog and Zetros trucks use a very flexible ladder frame for the same reason. Tatra on the other hand uses a completely rigid spine frame in combination with a lot of wheel travel on all wheels.
