A friend of mine that helped me form and weld the required roll cage for my run in the 1995 Top Truck challenge sent me this pick.
I have the magazines around here somewhere.

It was called MOGZLA because of the 6 digit limit on TX license plates.
Those are Gama Goat tires and wheels, could get them dirt cheap back in the day!!

It had a M180 2.8L with the dual carbs and an aux radiator behind the battery box IIRC.
The Thing I was proudest of was the slalom course, standing start flat road course, competing against many high powered trucks, Jeeps with small blocks PS etc.
They said I touched every but did not turn over any cones on the course and came in 3rd.
In fact I had the lowest power to weight ratio in the competition.

I remember that. Sort of.

Also that the ride and drive was among the scariest.

Nice truck and accomplishment! Wonder where Mogzila ended up?
I know I miss my Swiss 404 I had for a few years.
Since she was a "celebrity" I had to let her go, she was brokered by Glen Britain so I have no idea who bought her.
I did keep the extended foot steps (that go inside the wheel) and the Gama Goat wheels and adapters, they are on Air Mog at this time.
