Redherring Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Interesting chassis. Interesting challenge. But have no idea what it is. It possibly survived by providing something with portable support. In terms of narrowing down the possibilities... probably european, possibly german, big-big chassis, joggled frame, likely very early 1910 -1914 build. Probably not a Bussing or a Benz.

Great War truck Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Nothing is leaping out at me on this one. Interesting to see that it has wooden wheels but is not chain drive. Fascinating chassis and i see the seller has set a high price. I will be interested to see what happens to this one. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charawacky Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Does anyone know what the trailer is in the background? Is it on solids? Is it WW1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redherring Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cummon guys... We're not working hard enough on this chassis ID. I've been right through my photo collection and come up with nowt. Frustratingly, not that many photos show much underneath.:undecided: Are the rear wheels in this photo similar? (Appologies to whomever/whereever this unnamed photo came from.)

8_10 Brass Cleaner Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Saurer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Founder Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Saurer looks like a winner to me. The rear axle is quite unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Pattern of the Saurer diff looks too rounded ( fat) where as the unknown chassis appears slimmer in section. Also the drive shaft input on the Saurer is lower towards the axle level and the first chassis shows input at a higher level to the axle. Even with these points it could well be a different model or year of manufacture of a Saurer. Doug;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cel Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I went looking to the ad again and he added that it might be a DUX chassis. However, the only picture of a Dux that I have seen was of a LO truck that had cast iron wheels and chain drive. The trailer is for sale as well, a better picture of it can be seen here: http://www.prewarcar.com/classifieds/ad62853.html Regards Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
