So the idea is basically to do something very cool. I saw that in 2013 a Praga VS3 truck was under construction but it was absurdly cancled, maybe due to heavy RAM usage when making the model, etc. Not sure what happend. Model was excellent, I love Pragas, drove them in Arma2 and 3. Since that project was canceled i thought hey hang on we have sort of a "praga" truck aka Autobello and it does have 4 rear wheels on the rear. Why not create a engine for it based on Praga V3S truck and the rest of it to allow you to drive it like that truck. With the new engine it would require Praga VS3 sound system as well. Praga's specks: Engine Type Tatra T-912 Fuel Diesel Power 95 Hp Maximum Torque 353 Nm Driving capacities Fuel Capacity 120 L Fuel Consumption 32 l / 100 km Speed on Road 60km/h Engine and transmission The T 912 engine is a four-stroke in-line six-cylinder diesel engine with OHV valve train, located longitudinally behind the front axle. The power unit is a Tatra construction, derived from the twelve-cylinder fork T 103 originally from the Tatra 111. It is equipped with direct fuel injection. The individual cylinders provided with cooling fins and removable heads are bolted to the crankcase. The crankshaft is divided (7 parts) and mounted in seven roller bearings. The pistons are made of aluminum-silica alloy, equipped with 5 (T912) resp. 4 (T-912-4) piston rings. Lubrication is pressure circulating. Engine cooling is forced air, by means of an axial fan driven by two V-belts from the crankshaft. Chassis The chassis frame is a flexible ladder, formed by steel U-profiles. These are connected and reinforced by L-profile partitions connected by riveting. The frame on the right under the driver's cab has a 120 l fuel tank. The front steering and two rear axles are mounted on the frame. The wheelbase is 3,580 + 1,120 mm. In some vehicles, a drum winch with a worm gear is located behind the rear axles on the frame, driven by an articulated shaft from an additional gearbox. The winch has a pulling force of 29.4 kN. Engine Type 6-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine T912, in-line arrangement in the longitudinal direction, air-cooled Cubic capacity 7,412 cm3 Bore / stroke 110/130 mm Maximum output 72 kW (98 hp) at 2,100 rpm Max. Torque 353 Nm at 1,400 rpm 120 l fuel tank Power transmission Two-disc dry clutch with mechanical shutdown, hydraulically operated, mechanical 4-speed gearbox without synchronization, all wheels driven Chassis Ladder frame made of rectangular steel profiles, swing axles, tires 8.25-20, front axle with mechanical worm steering and manufactured with independent wheel suspension, steering assistance available, rear-wheel axle with independent wheel suspension and spring-loaded with longitudinal leaf spring. Dimensions, weights and mileage (platform trucks): Length / width / height 6,355 / 2,240 / 2,350 mm Wheelbase 3,580 + 1,120 mm Tyres 8.25–20, front single and rear twin tires Track width v / h 1,870 / 1,755 mm 400 mm ground clearance Empty weight 5,780 kg Payload 4,650 kg Trailer weight 5,000 kg Top speed 60 km / h Consumption approx. 30 l per 100 km The axles are rigid. The shaft consists of a cast steel housing with pressed and welded tubes for drive axles. The axle box has a bevel gearbox and differential, with a mechanically operated shutter. The ends of the axle bridge carry the front wheel reducers. The front axle is steerable, without differential lock and with switchable drive. The rear axles are equipped with a double wheel assembly and suspended by two longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs, suspended by a rocker arm on the frame pin. Each is supported and guided by three longitudinal swinging arms. The front axle is guided and suspended by two longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs with hydraulic lever or telescopic (M2) dampers. The steering consists of a globoid auger and pulley. The service brake is a single-circuit or double-circuit compressed air (M2), with brake drums on all wheels. The air is supplied by an emergency air reservoir with a volume of 40 l and a supply air reservoir of the same volume. The M2 version has a single 40-litre air tank, complete with 3 smaller air tanks (20 l, 2 × 12 l). The parking brake acts on the drum behind the auxiliary gearbox. The wheels are steel disc with a flat rim size 5.00 S-20. The rims are standardly equipped with 8.25-20 HD 10PR tires with an arrow pattern. The total number of wheels is 10 + 2 spare.
