An Antarctic research and exploration vehicle. Couldn’t find the name but it was featured in one of Clive Cussler books and I remember the gearing was wrong for the size tires and the terrain.
1941 Fargo
Estacada, Oregon Timber Jamboree. Used to have it when I was a kid and went out every year. I don’t know if they still have it.

I miss those old trucks. Tough as can be with internals simple as a butter churn.
That pic of the 250 six cylinder brought a tear to my eye. I had one in a ’68 chevy van. Reliable as dirt. You can still find those flat nosed vans around. I paid $600 for mine back in ’83. I’ve seen them in miserable shape for $3000+ now.
I replaced it in ’85 with an ’83 silverado diesel. First vehicle I had to pay a nut on.
That pickup would be 39 years old this year. You aren’t finding any of that vintage in a barn. And even they were built better than some today.
I think the Antarctic research and exploration vehicle is the Snow Cruiser.

Bob Chandler actually took the tires off of that machine, to make Bigfoot V.

Ahhh, back when trucks were heavier than their cargo.
Cute little, red F1 pick-up.
That abandoned F5 I’d like to take home.
The tracked Model T was used a lot for rural mail carriers, in the winter time. I read a write up on one at a local car show.
Not sure about the old plow truck – Mack or Autocar?

That was my take on that old plow and tried some research and it was inclusive, either a Mack or an Autocar.
