WANTED! Oshkosh R series Information and photos On the DHS forum I recently found the photo and quote listed below and because all the positive reactions I recieved from fellow Caterpillar and Oshkosh scale models collectors I contacted Dan Models to see if its possible to make this unique Oshkosh R series truck in 1:50th scale. Dan Silvestru is excited as Im, but we need more information, dimensions, drawings, specsheets and photos, photos and more photos to even start with this project. ...This giant Caterpillar powered Oshkosh R series, was one of a number that were sold to the Saudi Arabian Bin Laden Construction company in the late 1960s. They were 6x4 drive with plantetary axles, fitted wth sand tyres and Hyster supplied the heavy duty flat bed. This example was one of a few that were also shipped as a package with the mighty Caterpillar D9G dozer on the back. Its pictured outside the Caterpillar dealer in Wiscsonsin where it was later shipped to the Gulf. Not many rigid trucks of the day could transport such a load and these did it with ease. These were the largest trucks Oshkosh had produced until the arrival of the even larger J series which came out in the 1970s..... If you are in the possession of more photos or additional background information like Drawings, Specsheets or Brochures about the 1:1 Oshkosh R series truck I would be happy if you send your response to [email protected] Only with your help we can make this project a succes! Thanks, Wouter Mol
