@ Tony
The question comes up in the old thread as well......why did anyone bother to modify this truck to such an extent....
Hanno mentioned the word " Unimog"....wait a minute.....could this be a prototype Unimog? It does show a lot of simmilarities with the first Unimogs when it comes to wheelsbase, width...no cab roof....and a Merc engine!
That would explain why they didn't bother to keep the word "Ford" in one piece on the clip and why they even narrowed the fenders.
