rsb502 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah that thing is pretty beefy but I think its a Dm600 series too, not enough frame or hood to be a 800 series, pretty badass for a 600. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33401-middle-eastern-dm-800/#findComment-215387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I do not think 600 or 800 hood too long for 600 and too short for 800 no set back axle. Hood latches look about right size for a 600 series with off set cab.Just my opinion. It is different for sure. Joe D.

mackman1965 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 There used to be a guy around here(Long Island) that had a early 70s DM-800 from the Mid East . The gauges and writing on the dash and in the cab was in Saudi Arabian .Im sure some of the LI guys remember the company Bonel trucking. Pretty sure it was a 250 with a quad box.

41chevy Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hood looked to long to me but can't argue with a photo I like the 3 season room added on the right side. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33401-middle-eastern-dm-800/#findComment-215452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 A 12V71 in a 600 would take out the passenger seat. Interesting pintle hook and steps on the tank.

ThomasL Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 It is based on an DM600 but was build by the Dutch company FTF. Fitted with an Detroit Diesel 12V71. The radiator behind the cab is as far as I know used to cool down the transmission. I think 4 of this configuration were build, all for the Dutch heavy hauling company Mammoet. Only one did get the cab extension. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33401-middle-eastern-dm-800/#findComment-215479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 600 hood in the video looks a lot shorter to my eyes.The DD powered one appears longer than a DM600 but shorter than a DM 800 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33401-middle-eastern-dm-800/#findComment-215584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'd love to hear that pull something heavy up a long hill (not too steep)...I bet it sounds cool!

Joe Ditchkus Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Not to keep beating a dead horse but look where the hood latches are on the yellow DM 600 are about 2 feet apart on the red one in question close to 4 feet apart. I still think they started with a DM 600 truck or title that was heavily modified on the tin. That's my story and I'M sticking to it.A 12 Banger is pretty long and wide to fit in most any truck without a doghouse and raised cab like the red one was. Joe D.

DM897SX Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 It's a DM600, maybe modified, but it's a DM600 not a DM800 as the title states. The OP should know that if he really owns a DM800.

2stacksuperdog Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The red one looks to have a DM800 emblem on the hood itself in the video but then again could be a 600 just looks like 800 because of video quality. Maybe they used a steel R hood instead? Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33401-middle-eastern-dm-800/#findComment-215605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
