Hot Rods Original Monster Truck??

I happened across this photo and article and found it interesting. I cut and pasted the photo and story to share. I have always had better luck in deep snow with narrow tires but this may have been the hot set up at the time.

 

I believe there was a thread way back on Model A accessories for winter driving. That maybe of interest to you.

Where!?!?

 

Mail car. I think there was a thread on here about them.

 

Cuz it as built by some "boob"

 

A couple more.

 

I want to know where they got fenders and steering gear that held up.

 

I think #10 above is what they called a beach runner or sand buggy. They also did this to shortened Tri-Fives, Blasphemy!

 

Some that I had saved.

 

I’d guess when the automobile became more and more in use, many places stepped up for “needed” accessories?

 

Hello,

Here is a So Cal version that actually is licensed and driven on the streets as well as off road. Large tires, functional, but no so "Donky."

lots of sandy places in northwestern illinois when i lived there in the mid '60s. i saw quite a few car frames that had been shortened; they were called "dune buggies." of course, the bodies were gone...
