From the ad:

"One of a kind chevy ex millitary truck, It has a complete rust free cab, hood, fenders,ect. Its built on a one ton two wheel drive chassis with ZF 3ton axels that can steer in the normal front wheel position or in coorinated steering where you can do a tight donut or obliqued where you can walk the whole truck sideways it truly is a super cool truck. The rest of the drivtrain consists of a turbo 400 trans 208 transfer case and a mildly built chevy 350 engine. I believe the ring and pinion is 13 to 1 plus what ever the planetaries reduce it to. these are the same axels that Bigfoot and Gravedigger run only one size smaller. You could make the ultimate mud bogger or a crazy rock crawler. Also I have a 700 r4 trans that I was going to use in it if the winning bidder is interested in it."

i saw one of these trucks at luke afb. the axles are solid mounted simular to a front end loader or a backhoe w/ 4wd. i think these were used as tugs for big planes on the tarmac

*i think these were used as tugs for big planes on the tarmac*

i thought those were called Colemans, that were used in the military to tug planes. Anyway they are front and rear steer and look pretty heavy duty. There is one about 5 min away from me.
