All I have to say petey...is that was one of the first trucks I ever saw when I got on this site and I've been in love with it ever since. I think stout would be an understatement for that truck. Looks great, I'd love to see it tackle some obstacles like the 4' of snow...that would be awesome.
Just kidding.
Seriously though, I'd love to see some videos of this beast in action.

How many cubic inches does your flathead have? I'm just curious as to how big it actually is.

i don't know if your ready for this. 239 cubes of stock ford flathead power. simple little crossover pipe, one tube going into a 7 inch muffler. very quiet!! if you didn't see me coming, i bet i could put this truck on your heels BEFORE you knew i was there!! you don't need lots of power to go 45!! but it won't stop pulling!! lots of gearing here. it is all wheel drive, with front axle lockout. this is original!! truck will crab through corner with nfront axle locked up!

forgot to mention, engine is 100 hp. and truck is grey, sorta like ww2 navy color. also, truck is set up for snow duty, not off road. it is way too rigid! (doesn't mean i can't). have had many, many 4wd's, including 94 f350 crew cab centurion 4wd with ALL options, and even that could not go in the heavy stuff like this old dog.
