Mini Kenworth that runs and drives

Too much money and time on his hands. But I'm glad someone built it, just so I can smile and laugh. This miniature Kenworth is an exact replica. Power is a 3 cyl. Cummins turbo diesel that pumps out 37 hp through a Ford Ranger 5 speed tranny ending up in a true tandem drive system using a pair of Suzuki jeep differentials. There is also a complete and working air brake system.

The article I referenced was made a day ago. I searched this site to see if it was already posted without finding anything. Now I just found out this truck was made years ago. I suck at this, hence my join date and post count. My bad for bringing up old news.

That's pretty cool, pointless but cool. It looks life size in the video until you see the full size one next to it.

If you're gonna built it, build it so you fit inside. Cool nonetheless.
