j hancock Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Not real familiar. Brimont was a French military chassis builder so if it has a Mack/Renault engine, parts can be tricky to get. Getting a new Cummins 8.3 sounds great but I couldn't help with what issues you will have putting one in your truck.Is the Mack damaged or blown up or what? Even with parts issues, it may be more cost effective to fix what you have instead of reinventing the wheel. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

kscarbel2 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ottawa-Brimont "Commando" (the French Unimog) 4-wheel drive 4-wheel steer center pivot Brimont ETR articulated 4x4 built at Rethel, Ardennes, from 1974 to the end of the 90s. They had a distribution agreement with Ottawa between 1986 and 1998. Brimont was taken over by Legris Potain Poclain PPM in 1989. CAT distributor Bergerat Monnoyeur bought the Brimont off-road vehicle unit in 1987. In 1989, the company was called Brimont PM. Off-road vehicle production ended in 1993. Brimont today is a small trailer manufacturer. http://s3.e-monsite.com/2011/03/16/786277084x4-brimont-bergerat-monnoyeur-pdf.pdf http://s3.e-monsite.com/2011/03/16/23346963brimont-p-l-12-5-pdf.pdf http://www.monnoyeur.com/Website/site/eng_accueil.htm Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43082-ottawa-brimont/#findComment-341307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
