Blackened Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Its basically like driving a full size bus with a trailer on the back. I'd like to see what route he took to get through NYC with something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'd have to agree that's a little bit too long for a daily driver. You'd be hopping alot of curbs in most towns just going around the corner with the tractor itself. It does look cool though even for a Diamond Reo.

single drive Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I seen that truck in person at the swap meet in iola wisconsin last year or the year before. It is just rediculos looking in person, definately different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 It was at the South Bend show. It is almost 50 feet in length with an air ride and lift axle in the middle. I don't see the practicality.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I don't see the practicality.RobDid you notice how it sagged in the middle?It also had a set of trailer landing gear mounted ahead of the drive axles,don't know what the idea of that was.

I figgered the axle in the middle was to keep it from flexing as it traveled the roads. I seen the landing gear also but never thought too much about it.Strange contraption is what I thought.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Now saying this I have never seen this truck in person. Just speculation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those jacks probably were independent of one another.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
