Sterling T26 tank transporter,with 754 cubic inches of American-Lafrance 275 hp V12. This 1945 8x8 had many unique features. The entire front bogie turned, just like the dolly on a full trailer, and both the front and rear bogies were chain drive ! The tractor alone weighed 50,000 lbs, with a maximum GVW a massive 180,000 lbs. Road speed was 35 mph. There was also a straight cargo version of this truck built.
Check out the link below for more info.
