Indeed, and it was very neat. Considering it's vintage, the thing was incredibly advanced. It makes many later 2.5 ton trucks seem primitive. 8 wheel drive, full torsion bar independent suspension, selectable through power diffs, (you could "depower" a diff unit, and still run drive to the...

It was not mine, I was working on it for someone else. With help from a friend, we got it to where it moved and steered, then the owner wanted to finish the rest. I've since closed my operation and moved to Kentucky.
