Saw this today and had to share it. I'm still looking for a toy version.

Too big and narrow, so I think tart cart is fitting. I think the toy looks better. If you were to transform that into Grus bus truck thingy, Id rock it.

On a side note, are these gas motors?

It's most likely a Chrysler 440/727 combo. I'll be driving by it again today and I can easily tell just by looking under it.
Man, that would be cool. Easily 3d printable as a kit.
You can do this? I would be very interested.

I could easily do this, because it is all flat panels for the most part. But just ask @Kimmie28 how long it takes me to get to the post office :D

I will start on the rough design just for shits and giggles, but shoot me a PM and I will text you my number. We'd need to chat. It could literally be many months before you actually see a finished product because of my disability, and inability to get to a post office. If you can do the leg work, I need side views, front views, rear views, top views, or anything you can gather. Actual wheelbase and track width needed for your build, etc. Any pertinent details need to be included before I can start.

And note: 500mm x 500mm (19.685" x 19.685") is as big as I can print. So any parts bigger than that will need to be sectioned. And PLA doesn't glue that well, unless 3M's Weldon 4 does the job (haven't tried it yet).

I don't charge to 3d print stuff for people. But something this involved would cost you a right leg and a big toe.

If you took those pics, and it's still there, you have a goldmine of info there. You just need to go gather it. PS - take a tape measure ;)

I got a couple of big toes but I'll have to keep the legs, for now. I always have way too many projects in the works and far too little $$$ at the moment. I appreciate the effort on your part.
 
Get these dimensions at least. The one on the nose would be helpful for determining the angle that front end is since you can't really get a top view without being in a boom truck looking down at it.

Seriously though, maybe $20 for the electric bill (it would likely be a week or more on the printer). One roll of filament would do it easily, and that is only around $20. And whatever shipping is. I don't charge people for my time as it is all entertainment for me.

Now I want one!
