Well this is interesting to say the least. Someone cut the bed off of an 89 Ford truck and mounted it on some treads for a pretty interesting snow vehicle. It's currently going for $12,500.


I have some great things to say about this and some awful things to say. First, kudos to the mad scientist who decided this would be a good idea. It looks somewhat well-engineered if you can overlook that it is a Ford truck. I'm not a mechanic, especially not a tank mechanic, so I'm not sure exactly what he did internally to get the power to the treads directly below the engine, but good work.


But that's all I can say I like. I'd be really concerned driving this thing up any incline. It looks like there is zero weight in the back.


All you need is some steep incline with an odd-angled crest at the top, and BAM! You're flipped and going right back down the hill. If anything, I wish he kept the bed and moved the engine to the rear and removed the nose of the truck, similar to a cab-over semi truck.

But hey, it still has heated seats!
