Awesome pic Joe. Too bad they are Ford Flatheads and Not Mopar ones.

Speaking of military vehicles, My Favorite one, expecially Dodge is a truck called a XM410. This truck was made about 1959 and there were 6 prototypes made. 4 of the six are still known to exist. If you have a book called the Dodge Story by Tom Mcpherson, there is a pic of the truck in the 1959 Section. The truck was made by Chrysler, and it was a 8X8 It was rated at 2.5 ton. It is a Forward Control setup and looks really neat. The truck was powered by a 361 Industraial engine, with a automatic, and featured a fully independant suspension and disk brakes. The truck also sat on 14X18 tires. The body was made out of all aluminum. Also interesting enuff the Hummer and Humvee get their suspension design from this truck. Prototype number one of this truck sets on a farm in my local area and I am trying to get it. It would sure be a awesome thing to have. I am trying to find a place to store the thing till I can get to messing with it.
