Don't remember if these were posted. Too lazy to look through 24 pages of posts.

These were all grabbed from here on FTE at some point.

Can't remember if I posted this, but I thought it was pretty neat:



Was used at an Airport to move the planes around. The owner had since put it on an F100 chassis, not sure what he did with the old parts.

The Unstoppable Ural 4320 Off-Road Truck

My brother-in-law sent me this link. Pretty amazing logging footage as well as durable trucks. Hope the link works.

I have hauled logs in Alaska for decades. That looks like fun.

I really would like to do that. Man that's one tough truck.

all I could think was "at least in Alaska they wait for the rivers to freeze"

then I remembered seeing some old Ford trucks on IRT, so I did some searching

this is all I could find, a bit too new and not too odd but still cool

Here's a fantastic oddball Ford military truck. See if you can find another like it. Josh, are you looking...? I think you have to have it.









From the craigslist ad, "Rescued before it went to wrecking yard. Motor runs. Can move forward under its own power. $1800."
