Tatra, as we all know (and if you don’t know, you should hang your head in shame and not grace these pages again until you’ve improved your knowledge), have made weird and wonderful cars and trucks for most of the last century.
They also make more conventional ones and somewhat sadly today’s 810 is thoroughly conventional. Designed for the Czech army, the 810 incorporates Western parts with a Renault cab and a 7 litre Renault engine pushing out only 237 bhp but 680 lb ft of torque. It drives all three portal axles through a six speed ZF manual gearbox.
Interestingly, the engine weighs well over half a tonne on its own so you wouldn’t want to drop one on your toe.
Available in a choice of colours, being drab army green or drab army green.
Top trivia: Tatra make 12x12 trucks and during WW2 made aircooled W18 engines.

Air cooled, backbone chassis and half axles or GTFO.

I’d totally love to own a truck like that and build a camper on the back. I imagine finding parts for one here in North America would be hard. I’ve heard it is hard enough to find Unimog parts here - pretty much everything has to be ordered from Europe.

I would love to drive one of those. It would be so stuck inside of five minutes that it wouldn’t be funny, but I would love to drive one.
