Yes that is a very cool truck.

You could put a belt around those rear tires and turn it into a half-track!

It was based on the Dodge Concept truck built for the Auto Shows a few years back.

Along with another goodie that never made it into production.

Too bad they never put them into production.

That would be the ultimate truck.
