Looks like some kind of snow cat or artic type vehicle. Not any tank I have ever seen. Even cut tank can be reconized.

I'm not convinced it's an MV. Need more pics. The suspension and exposed hydraulics just don't look right.

I could not find anything in either of the Fred Crismon military vehicles books that looks like that contraption but it looks cool as anything.

I know the current running gear is home made. I believe the only "tank" item left is the bottom half of the hull. Ive been trying to match up the rear where that towing eye is located to see if there is anything close.

I did get a look under the cab thru an opening. You could see the side of the hull. It looked like the top was torched off. The sides are definately some sort of armor. They are about 2" thick

By-the-way, incase you cant tell, that pic is from the left rear.

Neat...but if you scrap it you can do something constructive with the money. There's prolly at LEAST $3500 sitting there...

There appear to be no mounts for any suspension.. either volute spring or torsion bar.

It actually looks like the bottom of a gantry crane that runs on rails on shipping docks.

I don't care what you say, that thing is one awesome piece of history. And well done at that. Keep it, save it, or whatever, its cool, and deserves a use. Find one for it.
