Pic below is probably not, but I did no research, see Petrolicious.
Edit; Closer exam says the chassis sure should, I am going to look at this more,
I wonder if one could build a special out of period parts like say a flathead powered TC chassis with a handmade body and make it work.

I sold this for $4200. They lost the tail gate.
A guy brought in a Colorado today with a big lift with a dropped crossmember and aftermarket spindles, and 33x12.50x20LT tires on it.
Wait a minute. There's no front axles or diff in there. And there never has been.

Why pay extra for what you'll never use?

True. I'm just kind of amazed that he even found a 2WD truck in NY state. It's rare that we get any 2WD trucks for inventory. Granted, I don't think the owner was particularly bright either. He came in for a Check Engine Light, it was a $650 estimate to fix it (you have to remove the intake to replace the Bank 2 cam actuator solenoid, which also requires removing the wiper cowl) and declined it because he couldn't afford it. Okay, fair enough. Then the service writer comes out and goes "He does want you to balance the tires and rotate them." Why? They're completely bald and the inner edges are chopped to hell. No amount of rotating and balancing is going to make it ride better or have anymore traction. Instead of wasting ~$200 on that, why don't you keep that money to go towards fixing the Check Engine Light?
What does this do?

Skidding logs? It reminds of a log arch, but self-propelled.

Guessing it is to drive down a single furrow of some crop. Either to pick or spray herbicide.

In reply to NickD : There is a 2WD class in that sort of racing; I believe that's where the Carolina Squat came from.
In reply to 914Driver :
The story I heard was mud boggers who would lift the front and use normal sized tires, and giant ag tires on the rear. With normal sized tires they sit funny.
Desert racers sit weird at rest because their suspension, from everything I have been able to gather, relies on somewhat bizarre damping characteristics: very light spring rates, correspondingly light rebound damping, and fairly stout compression damping. When the roads are smooth they sit low, when things are rough the suspension packs higher. And of course this means they can be supple enough for small bumps but land well after getting air.
Nice mullet.
Same guy, about 40 years later. Always with PF.

It kind of looks like what would happen if Star Wars was filmed with farm equipment.
Put street tires on it and drive it to cars and coffee.
