Kerbal Truck Simulator 2015: KMC M2 King Cab & Flatbed!

[Goddess Bhavani]

SCS Software, the creators of Euro Truck Simulator 2 made an April Fool's post about Kerbal Truck Simulator, so I replied with a

sometime earlier this month.

I took some time today to clean up the KMC M2 craft files so they are sharable.

Two variants of the M2 electric truck are offered:

1) Crew Cab

This is an all purpose configuration with a self-contained sleeper module, fuel tanks to service aircraft or small rockets, and a short bed strong enough to serve as a rocket launch pad. Feel free to modify the truck to any configuration you desire or use the chassis for other purposes.

2) Flatbed

The flatbed can accommodate 5 meter payloads and is tested up to 8 tons with Tim Yam's custom cat command module.

Nice job! These trucks looks really cool! You reminded me of my old ones...

Are you going to build new trucks?

Wow, nice! Make more pleas?

A bit too small for my liking, if supposed to be lorry-size.

If i wanted to build a lorry, i would take the european lorry considering Euro TS came before American TS, and because i live in Europe.

Then i have some "fun" trying to find a picture of a lorry next to a regular car, side by freaking side.

Best i could find, which is good considering i already have a Citroen-like vehicle in KSP.

Then take one of my regular cars i built in KSP and build from there.

And smaller size lorries are about a 650 I-beam taller than a Van.

Yes the M2 is ridiculously small, but scales well to the size of the Kerbals themselves. I do intend to build a semi truck with working 5th wheel hitch next, and that one will be much larger as I intend to follow the American sleeper cab template I am just wondering what to put inside the (huge) engine cowl as I am not using any internal combustion engine mods at the moment.

Maybe a radial propeller engine to see a spinning fan inside, for lulz.

@Nik_601 - really good designs! I will definitely take some inspiration and use more stock parts. Your O2 copters are great as well, simulating ducted fan appearance with the big SAS modules.
