A blast from my past. I ran a "Sow" much like this one in my younger days. The rig could do amazing jobs. Moving the drill rig was always a favorite time. The entire drill rig could be set on its deck. Another truck would mount the top of the derrick on its 5'th wheel and would drive backwards for sometimes 100 miles. AHH, The good old days, LOL.

Our local dump has a couple of old Oshkosh pickups.. don't know how old they are always wanted one, they look indestructible

Say what you wish about the engineers that design things but it's the guy that actually puts all the pieces together and gets whatever type of equipment it is to actually work as it's hoped to work that's the actual genius, and the maintenance person that eventually has to diagnose and repair it after being in use for some time

I think a few of these trucks did well on there own. There is nothing like pairing a diesel with high end torque. However, many of them had to be towed out and they were bulldozers or heavy farming equipment tractors that can EASILY get through that kind of terrain.
