Re: Unique trucks...
Is this the future for pickups? All cab, no bed at all? If they get any smaller they might as well make it a trunk to keep the luggage dry.
If I had this one I'd have to come up with 4 wheel steer.

Once you finish that monster burger and wash it down with a big gulp, turn your hat backwards and drive off. People will say “that guy doesn’t know if he is coming or going”.

Re: Unique trucks...
I don't know. I didn't consider it could be a 3-wheeler. It very well could be. I was thinking articulated like a pan/earthmover on first sight. Whatever it is, no one is taking notice. It looks more like a creature than a vehicle. Very odd and for what? A parade vehicle?
I'd ask this guy but he looks busy

Re: Unique trucks...
I think that has to be a 3 wheeler. I looked and thought articulated at first but that's an awful lot of front overhang. You would have to really get used to it or you would hit the curb at every right turn.

Re: Unique trucks...
I don't know, I've seen some farm tractors hooked up to something with a load bearing swivel that they just took out the front axle and apparently steered with the brakes.

Re: Unique trucks...
Always thought this one needed to be fixed up. I last saw it down in Newcastle. Would make one heck of an RV.

Re: Unique trucks...
It would be an awesome save for someone. It's a cool looking truck.

Re: Unique trucks...
WOW! I knew about the Labatt's trucks, and the one survivor, but not that Levi's truck. Funky neat for sure. But what it's purpose was is super cool. Kids would be thrilled by such a thing back then. I wonder about now. They'd be younger than shown, most likely
They could have an Italian Ice, too

Re: Unique trucks...
That would have been quite useful back where I used to live in Colorado, before the county started plowing the road.

Re: Unique trucks...
I do appreciate the amount of work to build something like this. I'd loose the pipes/stacks and the chrome cowl. I do like this rig.
