It is a hook lift truck
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I have a Tamiya Mercedes delivery truck on the way to me from Hong Kong 
also got a set of Knight hauler frames and middle axle for a 6X4 truck 
I am going to use the knight hauler frame rails for the trucks chassis and use the original frame to re jig the front end of the frame to suit the European truck wheel base and use the rear axle and the middle axle to make it a 6X4 truck chassis and either build the upper body as a rigid tipper or buy a hook lift system to make it a tipping hook lift truck, I intend to use the Mercedes cab and mount the gearbox as per delivery truck with it under the cab as far forwards as possible 
 
parts so far 
1 complete pass through driven axle 
1 set of dual axle suspension 
Carson steering rod 
blue bird low profile servos for steering and gear changing 
 
on order 
the delivery truck kit  
the c parts for the dual axle 
MFU 01 
short prop shaft to fit between the rear axles 
paint for cab (it is going to be red) 
 
to order  
hook lift kit or a tipper body and hydraulics to suit the tipper 
new prop shaft and centre mount if I have to buy two shorter prop shafts ( don't know the distance between the gearbox and front differential yet)
