Well I finally broke down and bought a plasma cutter as torching off all that added on steel to the frame would have taken forever to remove. Jack I think you were right, the reinforced frame on the rear looks to have supported something very heavy, and does point to a crane of some sort. Still some more to cut off but took me a day of time to get to this point. There was alot more than what is in the pictures as the underside was also reinforced.
I have ordered the rear floor and hope to get the frame cleaned up with a grinder and media blasted so i can paint it and get mechanical started

Thanks to Jack and his info about this being in a movie and tv show I was able to find one episode of a tv show from 1987 called Captain Power that my halftrack was in.

If you watch the video you will see the half track and a strange other smaller tank which was actually a Clark airport mule down under the movie body. I also had a Ford universal carrier on that series that may be in this episode. It was dressed up to look like a covered wagon looking fighting vehicle. This was all filmed in the pit at a Brampton, Ontario brick works.
It is strange that the Captain Power series failed because parents felt it too violent for their kids. It seems pretty tame compared to today's video games.

Now that is a unique bit of vehicle history
Interesting bit of vehicle history, that it was used in one TV or Movie is there any indication that it was used in others? How did you come to find the video?
Cheers Phil
