the nice touch was it had bullbar and belly wheels to climb over a 1m diameter tree that happenned to fall across his property. its amazing looking arouind that place the chassis is still there. was an article in overlander years ago. when they were out taking photos the crew was amazed how it all worked. when bill said they should take some photos of the underside, he gently layed the truck on its side for them.
david.

I remember that article in Overlander. Actually still had the mag up until about 12 months ago. It was an amazing bit of kit. There are some bloody clever innovative people out there.

The Chalmers rubber tandem drive suspension used on White trucks could articulate like that. Up against the bump stops on diagonally opposite wheels and the other two still on the ground.
