mike962 ◊ 2013-02-04 15:07	my personal bet it's a customized M48 / M60 -- Last edit: 2013-02-04 15:08:34
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2013-02-04 15:50	For at least some shots, the tank is just a shell sitting on top of a truck. The truck's wheels can be seen from about 38 seconds onwards in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afEB9k2QXlU

badlymad ◊ 2013-02-06 06:09	I was under the impression that this is a made for movie, since some of the behind the scenes shots seemed to show wheels.

You can go and rent it out and drive over dead cars and things. For filming it apparently had lots of extra plating and protection welded on so it could crush its victims without tracks, mudguards, side plates and screens etc being damaged/punctured by jagged bits of metal.
