    New T813 Owner

    Hello everyone. Few weeks back I travelled to meet Kuso (I am now based in the same country) to see his Tatra 813 truck, chat and help a little with the refurbishement. I must tell you all, he is super cool guy, really chilled, no-drama type of person!

    Tatra MTVR Prototype M923A1 - Tatra 815 Frankenstein

    gearhead, What a cool truck!!! Do you still have? If you do, perhaps you could take more pictures (or share those already taken) of how the drive shaft between the gearbox and the transferbox is connected, on the transferbox side. If I am not mistaken, the usual Tatra setup is that the gearbox...
