    Been out looking at properties to locate a business and saw at one place a red thing in the weeds.

    Set up like an old world war two half track.

    Not much bigger than my 96 carry.

    Has a two person cab and the engine appears to be behind the cab.

    A short bed behind the engine cowlin.

    Did not get out and drool as if the property does not come through I want to work a deal on it with out giving away ahead of time my intrest.

    Anyone seen anything like this before?

    One of my partners laughed at me and said he couldnt see me driving it down the road. My reply........I can. lol :rolleyes:

    Greg,

    That is much fancier than what I saw!

    This looks like 60s or early 70s and is very boxy in appearance.

    Will try to get a pic and down load it.

    :) That was THE MOST fun I have ever had zipping around in the tracked tank with Jeremy.... If I had not given him all my money for the Carry and Delica that thing would have been in my yard. UNSTOPPABLE!:)

    Still see them on the pipeline roads sometimes. Cool little trucks, very limited use for the average person.

    I grew up on Lake Winnipeg and still remember the big Bombardiers that the ice fishermen drove. Basically a tracked wooden ice shack with a 302 Ford in them.
