Cool Trucks

They were doing really well with that Dodge till they put a car roofline on it.

Throws the whole thing off (for me)

Excellent! A remake/modernized Jeep FC-150.




40+ years ago we did an R&R on an old rack body FC-150. We then used it to build a log home in the Catskills. It carried the entire the entire kit up a pretty crappy road.

Interesting pic (for me anyway) Why the smaller diameter wheels? Is overall height a concern? Is that a single wheel on the tag axle? Steer or non steer?

In Europe 4 meter is the maximum overall height for a truck. If the load on the truck is higher you need a special permission for every route depending on the bridges .

In Finland 4.2m is max height and in some cases 4.4m

Yes it´s single wheel and non steer. All axles have air suspension.

I couldn't get the video to work, but if this is the same Little Red Wagon I saw run at Woodburn, Oregon in 1965, or 66, it was pretty cool.

It did an exhibition run, doing a wheelstand for the entire quarter mile. At the finish line, overhead wires for the timing lights were too low to clear, so he slacked the throttle just enough to dip under them, then got on it again to bring it back up before shutting down.

How stupid of me to not do everything the same way you do.










BTW, I don't use IE.



Edit: Out of curiosity, I just logged on in Internet Explorer, and guess what? the video worked.

But, you are right that it is not a Dodge A100. http://www.sportscardigest.com/icons...s-rm-auctions/
