Point is that I think the tug truck story makes NO sense.
I find it hard to believe that a major airport would cut the frame on a new truck and cobble together a wood bed like on this piece of ****.
Maybe at the Hemet Tasty Freeze/International Airport and Tatoo Parlor...but nowhere else!

Up for auction is a 1965 ford F-250 TWA Airport Tug Truck/ Plant Maintenance Vehicle. This truck was used to tow planes from the runways to the hangars for inspection. It had been sitting in an airport hangar for the last 35 years. It is all original, even has the original tires still on it. The engine is a 300 cubic inch inline 6 and I believe it has a C6 transmission. The transmission does have something wrong with it. The truck will not move when shifted into any gear. I'm not a mechanic so I don't have a clue what it could be. The engine does fire up. This truck has NO TITLE and NO VIN since it was never supposed to be driven outside of airport property.
Look at the auction for yourself. And if I may add that in my professional opinion you need to wear your helmet "AT ALL TIMES."
