                        Just wondering what this firetank is based off of if anyone can tell anyway. I do believe this thing would be fun to get out in the woods to play in. I think I would much rather have that thing with me than my shake and bake bag anyday!

                        It's a Ford F150, you can see the make/model on the grill, and side.

                        Is the back end a "Reading" conversion that you see on work trucks?

                        Neat picture, but it may not be a modification of any military vehicle. Many industrial companies around the world manufacture their own tracked vehicles - Caterpillar comes to mind immediately. Good luck "tracking" it down. Big Smile [:D]

                        Also looks like it has vents in the rear corner in the same place. Cool. Thanks.

                        that's on a T-55 body i belive.
                        as for the first pick that is not an F-150, it's a F-250 Superduty with what apperes to be at least a 6 inch body and supension lift kit. I would say it has 34 inch tires and the extra bell's and whistles (ex. brush guard, storage compartmens, etc. etc.)

                        Mourningstar,
                        I beg to differ, that is not a T-55 chasis, but a Leopard 1.

                        The roadwheel layout on a T-55 is totally different. Here is the T-55:


                        And the Leopard-1:


                        Along with the fire tank next to it.
                        Also note the glacis plate layout on the Leopard 1 is the same as well as the rear air intake grills, sloped hull sides, and the track shrouds are the same.
