"Super" Snow trac?

[dansvan]

Has anyone seen or contemplated making a "super" snowtrac? My idea is to cut the cab after the last side window, before the rear wall - door section and graft in another section from a seperate snowtrac. Then lengthen the frame and the tracks to match the new longer cabin. Just to be different and to see how it works. I can see using two machines that need to be rebuilt. Just an idea. Anyone good with photoshop?

There is no reason it would not work. You'd probably want to increase the horsepower of the engine to offset the added weight and load on the tracks.

Longer tracks = more potential for de-tracking the vehicle.

Well I'm no good, but I gave it a shot. I figured it looks best with a high cab. I'll do a normal cab soon if someone can give me a clear side view on a flat surface (not snow). Presenting the Super-Trac high cab edition! Excuse the freakishly long sun roof. XD

What would one less window than the one you just did look like?

Dan I have been also toying with the idea of building a slightly longer unit. My idea was about a 24" extension.

Here is the revised v2 version, looks awesome
This one looks alot more realistic, actually looks possible! Obviously this design is no way possible becuase there is nothing supporting the track at one point. Lol

That looks great! Good job!

Dan,
If your interested I do have extra wheels, leaf springs and axels. Every thing you would need for the suspension part.
