In 1965 at Monegeeta Army Proving Ground, we tried out the full track system on a US6 Studebaker. Great fun. Would go just about anywhere. The steering wasn't that heavy. I thought it would have been, but was pleasently surprised. The outer front wheels were fitted with a smaller size tyre. This was to aid steering on hard ground, as without the tracks, only the origional tyres on the front were making contact with the ground. Before fitting the tracks, we let the tyre pressures right down and after the tracks were fitted, the tyres were pumped up to tighten the tracks. This was not an official trial, just a "let's see what it's like" effort,one Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately we took no photos.
