Hey Larry,
By coincedence, I was watching a show on the History channel the other day about these Monster trucks, and this guy built the latest BIGFOOT using the tires and wheels off the artic transporter you’ve referenced. He found the entire transporter sitting in a junk yard derelict.
Wow, what a beast. This would definitely make for a different project. Imagine the whole train built up? [:D]
Imagine if we had adopted them, and then armed them to defend themselves. Fantasy, sure. But interesting!
Yeah the show said they were in service from '58 to '62 hauling supplies to the NORAD outposts in the great white north. The thing had bunks and agalley and everything, the DOD’s first RV!!!
It would make for a hell of a “what-if” build.
Saw that too crockett. Really interesting huh?
That is cool…thanks for posting, Larry
