Swamp Fox was a name used for the testing of several flotation vehicles, not all Dodges, that Brian the DNR W500 owner can elaborate on.

I have seen photos of a W500 Crew Cab outfitted with Terra Tires, likely done from the SEG at Dodge. Rumors of a special helicopter oil field support vehicle - W500 Crew Cab was built for a customer by Dodge.
The photos of it were on e-Bay about a year ago, along with some special oil company Shell and others, WM300s, and Fords with Terra tires, vintage photos. Very neat.

I also have a photo of a W300 Crew Cab with Terra tires that is unusual. The truck does not appear to be on a stretched chassis like my Blue ox, rather it looks like a single cab chassis, with flairs built into the rear doors of the cab for rear tire clearance!

Will scan it and send it to you.

If you get down to building special wheels, tack a center in place, mount one tire, then go fit it on the truck, esp on the front, turn it lock to lock to insure fit. That is what I did when I had ol' Henry build my wheels w/13R20s Michelins for the other W300CC.
