'50"s Ford f1 4x4 drive
The truck seems military with OD paint / black fenders but I've never seen anything like the front wheel drive system.
Anybody happen to know if it is a Ford built it like that or somebody added the fwd on.
The floor looks hacked where the control levers come through.
it has a Flat head V-8, three in the tree and a Hi and Low divorced transfer case
it might have had a forward PTO
interesting set up the axle stays straight and the wheel pivots in the inside
pretty cool survivor
the truck has good history around here as it was used to carry drums of diesel fuel to the Cats that built a winding road out of our little isolated valley. Before the road you could ride a horse in, fly or take a boat to get here.
Anybody else see anything like that fwd system?
cheers

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
