Mercedes LP 813
Hi all,
hereby some pics about my home made built LP 813.
This truck is from 1982, it is titled as "historic vehicle", and as I wanted to keep his truck look, there is no passage between the cab and the box.
being a member of a historical truck association, this truck has been bought and transformed to go on vacation as on historical trucks meetings here and there.
I bought it 4 years ago, it was a former horse transport, meaning the frame is/was heavily corroded.
It was cheap, it had the longest wheelbase available back then (4.80 metres), with a 6.50 metres (almost 22 feet) long box, its maximum weight is 7,5 tons, meaning I have no limitations to ride everywhere in Europe, with some exceptions like in France where most city centres are forbidden to trucks above 3.5 tons.
The first thing I did was to draw plans, plans, and maybe other plans (did I mention I drew plans?), to finally get this:
