Home-Built 4-WD Articulated "Mud Truck"
My home-built, 4-WD, articulated "mud truck" can get in and out of just about any mud hole and works great for hill climbing. It's fun to drive. I built it by modifying a junked-out 1978 Chevrolet 1-ton pickup.

Home-Built 4-WD Articulated "Mud Truck" TRUCKS Miscellaneous 28-3-41 My home-built, 4-WD, articulated "mud truck" can get in and out of just about any mud hole and works great for hill climbing. It's fun to drive. I built it by modifying a junked-out 1978 Chevrolet 1-ton pickup.
It's powered by the Chevy pickup's original 350 cu. in. gas engine. It's fitted with two rear drive axles, both off Chevy 1-ton pickups.
I used 1 1/2 by 3 1/2-in. rectangular tubing to build a new frame. The cab and front fenders are off a Chevy S-10 1/2-ton pickup. The hydraulic cylinders and steering unit are off a Massey Ferguson combine. A modified beer keg was used for a gas tank on back. The box on back of the rig is used to keep mud off the radiator and transmission cooler. A pair of "glass pack" mufflers with tractor flaps on top extend straight up out of the hood.
