My dad called those June Buggy's. I haven't seen one working since I was in junior high. They had pretty much gone away by then as most of them were made out of WWII government surplus 6x6's that had the big winch behind the cab. Folks would move one of the rear axles forward as close to the cab as possible, chop the frame off, and make an arch( not as nice as that one has) out of the piece cut off and go logging. We had part of one out behind the barn that we played on as kids. That one is pretty nice shape it still has glass in it.
Thanks for the memories.
