    It had to be in-town only. Even with IH's largest gas V8, it certainly wouldn't break 40mph with that trailer loaded with 16K+ pounds of trucks. But I do wonder if it has a Brownie or other splitter on the trans?

    I think it has been converted to a modern diesel powerplant. I saw it on the book of face this afternoon and there wasn't much info, but it was inferred that it had an updated powertrain.

    Those delivery trucks look hilarious and I'm shocked to see that the pickup next to it is 2wd. I guess it makes sense. For some reason I spent most of my life assuming a jeep was 4wd no matter what flavor it came in.

    Not everyone needed 4WD. But they wanted really simple, capable trucks. I'd love to have that van, just because, and it's LHD. I could make a mobile shop inside it.
