That'd be a good tow vehicle for a trailer dealer.

It needs a scatter shield, just in case. Know what I mean?

I'd have to pansy it up with at least a roll bar.

My thoughts were similar. That would be a good yard mule for a marina.

Judging by the size of the hitch on the back, I would guess that's roughly what it is used for.
I really like the steering arangement. Thats got to respond well

Good catch.
I looked at the backround of the pictures a little more. The owner looks like an interesting character.
Two S10's with racetruck or demo derby paint jobs.
Another car in similar paint and condition
Painted school bus with no windows.
Sailboat without a keel resting on the ground
The Farmall looks pretty nice.Clealry he does not have a HOA.

IT appears that the front springs are zip tied together from two sets with two set's of shocks somehow joined as well.
That's not Grassroots, that's Darwin award nominee in the making!
Anyone on here who considers that anything but scrap metal should have their subscription canceled and a life time ban!

Nah, you'll knock yourself out while bailing.
Digging the redneck engineering chain drive steering.

Obviously it's hideously dangerous.
But I'd still love to have a go on it.

When the bellhousing that you are sitting atop of shatters the steering gear teeth will provide ample grip for the gear to be sticking out your sternum.

Hmm yeah after seeing the zip tied springs I'd say it's clearly in the "redneck" zone. I mean, you'd think he'd at least use some hose clamps

There appears to be a plate between the upper and lower springs so the zip ties are just to locate them, however I would find a more secure method also.
It isn't too far from me, thinking plow, trailer, parts car dragging machine, not to mention what the berkeley

I think the seat is mounted off the diff, that would be a wild ride, maybe that lower shock mount should be altered to the frame rails that extend back almost as far.
As it is I would expect to be shaken not stirred.

I was wondering how you were supposed to steer that thing and then i looked at some pics.

Better bring a huge plate of brownies to motor vehicle if you plan on putting that thing on the road. I couldn't see a gun rack , I know it's there.
