Checkout the plans to how the iconic vehicle of Mad Max: Fury Road was designed!
Courtesy of the Mad Max Wiki: we have the plans to the War Rig from the movie:
Base Vehicle
The vehicle commonly referred to as “The War Rig” is a 78 foot 18 wheeler based on a Tatra T815. an all-wheel drive truck manufactured in Czech Republic. It has undergone heavy modification, however.
The originally placed cab was moved from over the engine to the middle of the chassis. A custom front was fabricated and additional passenger space was added to the back of the cab, built from a widened 1947-48 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Sedan. Three “War Rigs” were created for the movie. All of the trucks were identical and used interchangeably. Two trucks survived filming.
WITNESSED!
