Swamp Buggy Built On 1966 Ford 3/4-Ton Chassis

Swamp Buggy Built On 1966 Ford 3/4-Ton Chassis ATV'S ATV'S 23-5-34 This "swamp buggy" was built by John Warner, St. Elmo, Ill. When I first saw it, I decided to buy it if I ever got the chance. Recently, he agreed to sell it to me. The buggy's built on a 1966 Ford 3/4-ton chassis. Warner shortened the wheelbase by 2 ft. and turned the front axle over to give it high ground clearance of about 20 in. A small box on back carries hand tools and a small amount of cargo. Heavy-gauge metal for the body was cut from an oil storage tank and then flattened. The finished buggy weighs 5,200 lbs. It has seat belts and rollover protection with a heavy steel top. We have land in a number of locations and it's an ideal off-road machine for checking crops and will also run with traffic at 65 to 70 mph.
