Maximum over drive Chevy Tug

[4XDesign]

I hope this is an acceptable location to post the Tug. It was listed for sale and would not go away so I picked it up. It started as a stock tug here are some pictures. I am going to take it to the Georgia rally. Any one that knows me knows I can't leave well enough alone...

Its a MB4 air craft tug. Four wheel steering planetary ZF axles. So it did not start as a cucv but is similar.

Sharp rig! 6bt? 30mph wfo? Can't wait to see it in action. M101 bed cut down?

I think we had one up to about 15mph...!!! You should be able to put 90 inch tires on it and get up to 25...
and boy do they BOUNCE.

It has the original 6.2. You could probably power it using a cordless drill, it has ridiculous gear reduction. It will do 20 mph or so. All of the research claimed the transfer case was in low range and was limited by sheet metal in the floor. So I figured I'll rework the shifter and get two times the speed. The internet lied, the trucks are in high range. I did redo the shifter and it does 10... It's a M105 BlythewoodJoe had I just finished cutting it up.

You can get it! It will most likely be for sale after the Ga rally in October.

I wanted to add. That when I cut the rear concrete filled frame section off, I had a pallet under it on the ground. When it broke free it chopped the pallet in half. It has to be at least 1000lbs . Watch your toes!

The front bumper they usually have on them is HUGE. They are fun to drive sideways and crab around.

Oh yeah we just have to figure out how to get in it... I did have to take the long bed fuel tank off. I replaced it with a short bed tank, it works with the larger tires and doesn't have a hole in it.
