In practice, every competition has a lot of crashes. Some trucks are going crushed by others. And always we can see at this competitions a lot of dirt (or snow), fun "drift" ( ) of huge machines and stench of exhaust gases

Сompletely agree, ZIL 130 have an collective image of american tracks of that time. But it is more plus of this car because the shape has turned out beautiful.

Thus the design is imposed for the big sizes of a car ( 2.20 m width of a cabin )

By the way, there was a question. Whether there were american trucks with the sizes of a cabin as at Zil 130 (and with similar design)?

Copying of design and design decisions took root to factories from the country leaders. Unfortunately...

But in Russia always there were talented designers and artists. Many projects were closed at the earliest stages.

But it is the fact that the design school of the Soviet car factories has come from USA . The first big russian car factory was built with the help of Ford and the first products of "GAZ" factory was license ford cars.

So, Thank you mr. Henry Ford =)

You are doing just fine. Don't worry if we don't understand something we will ask.

I can't imagine a truck that size getting that much air. That must be fun to watch or even to drive in. Thanks drbroman and welcome to FTE. I am looking forward to reading your posts.

I think you mean American Trucks? If so we would need the with of the frame you would use to start with. Or are you wanting to put the Zil on an American frame?

Yes, Trucks...oOps %)

It would be interesting to me to learn a little about the American trucks in the sizes like Zil 130.

It is very interesting for me - learning design of American analogs

Some time ago I have bought the engine from Mercedes Benz CL 55 AMG Kompressor.

I want to install the compressor from this engine in my Zil =)

Good to see you back on the forum. That thing should make the Zil get out and go fast.
