These trucks were used to push trucks over Donner pass in the snow. It is powered by a VT-903 Cummins, backed by a 5 speed Spicer. The large air tank is for the air starter. I shortened the cab to 72”

Very interesting and unique model.
I've heard that Donner is brutal in the winter, so I wonder if other companies had similar rigs, there or elsewhere?
The chrome ring on the steer wheels - I've noticed similar things on other cabovers, and I've always assumed they served as an extra step to enter the cab... But that's a guess.
