Of course the easiest way to see these swing axles at work is to take the load off the suspension and one nice way to do that is to enter a Dakar rally: It's not so clear on the front axle but the back wheels are pinched together nicely at the bottom.
we will go with a matte green finish, but the original paint must be freshened up. i wish i had your metal working skills. my partner was reminded that a friend's father lives in the Czech Republic half of the year. we were looking for a translator and a possible parts procurer. as it turns out, the father used to own Tatra. he sold it in 2001, but obviously has ties to the marque. he stopped by to look at the truck. he was impressed with how complete and original it is. he told us that he will send us a manual and will be able to get any parts that we need! huge score with an obscure project like this. beaner
This is the best work vehicle I ever had. Cooler then the MINI and I even got to drive sometimes, unofficially of course. @ KittyMini: This vehicle and Goaljnky's were fully capable of dealing with road rage. :lol: Jim
