Looks like an old military vehicle of some sort...probably from one of the World Wars.

Aside from the advertising, I dig it! Pretty mean looking rig!

There are these two weird trucks I keep seeing Reno as well. They are definitely something very old, they have two spare tires mounted on the fenders slightly behind the front wheels, and they say "four wheel drive" on the side.

I need to get a photo of one for identification purposes, as I have no idea what they are. They look slightly similar to this thing.

Now it is!:bgwo:
Originally I'm thinking it had a couple of command flags on the front fenders.

Looks like something out of a post apocalyptic film.

EDIT: Someone wanna attempt this with a PT Cruiser or an HHR? ;)
