Very nice, did you manage to find anything out about it, it'd make a nice tourer.

I asked to have a look but the guy was about to take off on his tractor with boat in toe.........he said he built it. The chassis has been extended 300mm.

The 142 comes from my maths.

Just in case a 130 had too tight a turning circle

appeal 9/10

manoeuvrability 2/10

I guess that there are no sharp corners we he uses it :)

[Ranga]

What did he have in the back that required the extra length?

130's actually have a 127" wheelbase still, so that makes this a 139" truck :p
