    Default has anyone seen the 'military' style truck in calgary

    I have seen it twice and i think a landscape company owns it, Its a large green military style truck, kinda looks russian. Has really large tires and is fairly tall.

    Just wondering if anyone knows the company or the make of the truck, I would like to find one to import but have no idea where it came from or what make model it is

    Thanks

    similar to that yes, i think it had a flat front with the engine under the cab and only 4x4, not 6 wheels,

    Thanks for the post though!

    Only talked with the guy shortly.

    Im not sure if its the one your looking for, but this guy bought this monster of the U.S army out of Illinois. (If I remember correctly)

    He actually got it for a awesome price in my opinion

    Edit: Missed your last post, doesnt sound like the one your looking for, but nevertheless.....

    Sometimes you have to take a chance, whether that be on someone, or something!

    That truck is parked right up the street from me, it's a monster and I wish I had it lol. My dad stopped to talk to him one day and was told the truck runs on anything, diesel, gas, ethanol, canola oil lol w/e is available. I'll take a few pics of it later. If it's the same one, he got it from California not Illinois.

    I'd love to have one of those as a project, but have no reason to have one after I'm done.

    There's at least one Laplander kicking around too - little different than the pinzgauer - but similar look
