$400k... hope it comes with bumper to bumper lifetime maintenance. Seems to me that it's just a Jackson Hole millionaire's garage queen. Cool truck though, thanks for the walk thru.
That’s beast and beautiful truck. I’m so happy and honored be part of this family 🎉. I have a 2021 power wagon…. I really love it. Just drink toooooo much gas… but it’s worth it.
I thought the vehicle started with the Army. In fact the Navy/Marines has a boat stuck up on some rocks and both the boat and personnel were going to be lost. The Army cam to save the say. They sent these two prototype Army "Ducks" and rescues the Navy sailors. The Navy people will never hear the end of that!!
I have a 75, they are extremely reliable, but I’m sure that motors been rebuilt at least at one point. Also, mine has the 2F but also has 4-wheel drums. “Pretty light”? mine weighs the same as my 08 f150, I wouldn’t call it real light…
I've got a '52 half-ton with a 261 Engine and a later model open drive-line. 3:08 rear axle. Otherwise mostly stock except for 12 volts, seat belts and a few other things. Runs fine. Everyday driver for the last 30 years.
Awesome truck I used to have a 1957 Power Wagon 1/2 ton step side short bed, 315 v8 3 on the tree. After I solt it I found out there was only 600 made ade mine was in great shape
I always thought that it was a cool rig. I used to go hunting for used parts in a local wrecking yard for my 1966 Dodge. They had a Duck. That was in the 1980s. I always felt sorry for it. It's gone, and so is the yard. I don't know what happened to it. I used to climb around on it and imagine the places it could have been.
Passenger grab bar...? Clearly an import but still possibly a '68 from that market. Great intro to the FJ40 . Visit the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake City Utah. Kinda hard to find but worth the effort if you like them.
So if you want to bs me about gravity feed dumping fuel not an engine I guess said engine has not form of carburetor or mechanical injection and said fuel just pours into the cylinders.
Years ago I was driving semi in Washington state and encountered an old truck yard. The guy had many old trucks like this and others. I remember the old trucks with manual turn signals. It is so important to preserve this kind of history.
51' was the first year, not 50'. The stock tranny is not fully synchronized. The windshield is shared with the deuce and they modified deuce tops to fit them before the arctic tops they initially gave to the Canadian trucks with the larger engine, I have a very early one.
I have a 1950 3/4 ton Chevy that I've had 33 years and my brother 20 years before that. Two February's ago it passed one million miles. It now has power steering, power (still drum) brakes, non-split-rim wheels (too dangerous), a Dana 60 limited-slip differential and a 4-link rear end. A 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and a 383 Stroker engine. Its my daily driver and when I get too old to drive it anymore, my daughter wants it.
Just bought a m37 1952 body on a 1999 f250 frame 4x4 just sitting on it have a 1996 3500 4x4 crew cab duelly going to mount the m37 on the chev 4x4 like that one that has the spare wheel and batterys in the middle one payed $150.00 for the chev
Our antique tractor club has a 1926 SnoGo, much different design than this Ford based truck. It is more like a grader design. Some of the old video footage you included looks like our machine. Thanks for posting this.
As a young child I remember seeing 1 of these in Mt Carmel, IL in the '50s-'60s but with a V-blade. Always wondered what happened to it. Since it had a blade the rear hosted a generator set. Painted olive drab it had to be Army surplus.
6:18 my dad bought a new 1950 five window 3100. I totally restored it 25 years ago 216 and 3 on the tree,no rust always garaged from new. We have always called it old RED, my wife of 46 years loves to ride in it.
Interesting to work on but great fun to drive, down the beach and straight into the water ! The design was the work of genius. Then there's the LARC XV, far more interesting to work on and vastly more fun to drive.
How could they stand up in Korea wallowing heavy mud ,when it will take out axles etc seen in this video on just an open mountain path. Seems to me this path should be a piece of cake compared to what is needed in a real war situation where I would think,they would be tested to their limits.
