Has any one ever seen this unique 6x6 before? I think it had hydrolic torsion arms that allowed it to side hill with one side of the wheels up and the other side of wheels down. It also had a prop in the rear that would retract too?

if i'm not mistaken, i think that be a hydrotrek -
Its an amphibitruck. I talked to the gentleman a few years back. It was hydraulic powered via a generac 31 hp engine. If I recall he built around three machines in Arkansas so see if there was any interest. Apparently it didn't work out. He sent me a couple videos years ago and it looked pretty simple and well built. I remember asking him if 31 horsepower was enough to work the hydraulics and he told me: "if you want a bigger motor, there's room under the hood for a Chevy 350." The only thing I didn't like about the machine was that the firewall only partially shielded the engine compartment so the driver worked the throttle on the side of the engine. I'm sure it let a lot of hot air in the passenger compartment.Comment
