Lovely old truck that. Sounds a bit like that truck from Duel!

That engine does sound superb especially where the camera is on top of the cab.

can someone tell if the front axle can move directly up or down or is it like a tractors where it has a central pivot to let it articulate

[gritineye]

Yes, like a tractor but with a leaf spring between the pivot and the axle to allow some vertical movement.

Having owned an explorer, I have one thing to say, NEVER AGAIN. Greasing the props every 50 miles, etc blah...... No thanks. Have met up with my old girl, and I must admit it was a bit tearfull, but like I say NEVER AGAIN.

awesome stuff! that suspension setup was just unstoppable! does anyone know about the Scammell Prospector?- it was the name given to the Pioneers that had a driven front axle, making them the 6x6 predecessors to the explorers.
