Again, I wish that these sites would link to the orignal studies or at least have a list of links. Some info at the end of this article in the comments. Haven’t gone there yet so not sure if they are helpful or not.

0402KUnusualTruck.jpg (JPEG Image, 400×248 pixels)

Another homebrew truck.

Update: After being chastised for doing the one-word/line explaination(s) I’ll try to do better. 😉

As for this one what you see is what I had. Took a minute and went up the url till I came to actual text and then found the travel log and compaired the dates to the link name of the picture and found the section it came out of: http://www.kirkanddonna.com/rtw/Laos.htm#0330-040803 which also says just about nothing about the truck. The picture is down the page a bit, and heed this warning, it’s a long page with many pix.

So the truck in question is this –

Now looking at it closely I note the front wheels are cleated. Looks to me like the front end is a walkbehind tractor that is grafted to an old army truck/jeep cab and rearend. It seems to piviot where it attaches to the cab and looks to be used kind of like a steering tiller would be which would explain the large opening in the front wall. Also note the headlight on the front of what apears to be the fuel tank. Overall a very interesting design! Wish there was more detail or info but as Bugs says: That’s All Folks!
