Psst! It's on the front page.

That photo actually appears to show a rig constructed not for maintenance/repair, but for using the vehicle to power a pump or something similar. Note the drum in contact with one rear tire...That was done a lot, back in the old days.

Or perhaps it is an early chassis dyno!

Thanks Ryan , those are great photos. Too bad they don't get built like that anymore.

Lots of other subjects at their main site. If you're from that area, prepare to spend a few hours!
