    Monster truck

    This is in San Diego. If anyone is looking for one. Appears to be a O.E. Szekely with the aluminum body and correct Ford Y block. What a neat grocery getter Or, if you need to tow jet planes. It's on CL San Diego.

    You could drive this on the street. This one had a license plate at one time. These were auxiliary power units for aircraft, supplying shore power to start. This one, if memory serves, has the Ford 292 V8.

    I see a perfect ranch truck. Hauling a hay wagon or some such chore with that nice manageable short wheelbase. It looks to have 4 wheel drive. Those Y blocks are good engines for what they are. But the valves need adjusting ever so often.
    Uglier than sin but somehow cute in an odd way. And yep, I see a license plate. As long as it has stop lights and head lights no one at the DMV would have a clue what it is. This one has no title but no big deal. Over the years I've purchased quite few with no title.
    There are outfits that deal with that problem. If I wasn't knee deep in my '50 cj I'd go over and trailer it back.

    Looks like a new project with a blown LS motor in it!!!
    Looks like it has enough hood height to hide the whole power unit without it sticking out

    You could use that to capture rhinos.

    An LS would be fun!

    Minneapolis Moline made a "Jeep" as well during WWII. It was strictly designed for pulling light bombers around the tarmac.

    Don't forget about a Burma Jeep! These were built by Ford, but have a very unique look.
