Questions on half track jeeps

I have maybe seen one jeep with tracks, anyone ever seen that setup currently on a jeep? One of my friends sent me this link with several pictures of old military rare jeeps, kinda cool, i would consider doing the half track i had a trailer and could find one. still neat hope you all enjoy.

Off subject... or maybe not, got any larger pics of the vehicle in your avitar?

 

This was a homebuilt though R)

They called it the moosegoose, there used to be a webpage dedicated to it.

 

Mine's better Jeep Freak!
Here she is in her full pride.


It also reminds me of the kettenrad.

 

JollyJeepers father had one IIRC one of the few real ones ever built.

 

i'll take one of those 4 wheel steering proto-jeeps

 

heres some pic's of my projekt, these are pictures before I started taking things apart. i got it a couple months ago, its just sitting in the back yard, took off the fenders and grill to work on the engine and took that down to the rods, engine is very bad shape, im just gonna buy a new power plant and replace. here ya go

gonna be fun when finished. checked the firewall serial # 1949 cj3a but someone did lots of work to it already. I have only found 1 that looks similar to it.

 

You have a VERY cool jeep-truck. I hope you are keeping that setup, very unique and appears well done.

 

that was the whole reason i got it, quite unique, now im just trying to verify whats under it if before i start to buy parts, but as for now just trying to either find a running 225 dauntless to swap out, but im no mechanic and have limited tools/time/cash, i dont know if the guy that did all the work welded the cab to the frame, if so it might take more than a couple people to take off the frame. but id like to strip it down sand blast the frame box it if need be, clean it and put back together, get a welder and learn to fabricate. theres some cancer on the doors and driver side floor but thats about it. I have been wanting a jeep for the back country for a while and i found this gem for 650.00 not 20 miles from my house, basically it will look the same just cleaned up. but its not going to be a bueaty queen, i only got it to take to the mountains and have some fun, and to drive on thoes wonderfull colorado blizzard days.

 

opps double post.

One from awhile back.:v6:

 

half the half track i see it kinda looks like a track fitted to some regular tire grooves( are the tank tracks?), would you suppose that the middle set is modular or has full axel on the ones with 6 tires/tracs?

 

That one Grannyscj is showing is from the forestry service. There was one for sale on a carlot in Spokane Wa. just this last year. Right now would be a good time to have one up there, cause they have hat like 4 to 5 feet of snow since Sunday morning. Had a plane slide off the runway at the airfield.My younger brother says it's icy under the snow and even 4x4 means very little.:hurrican:
