Custom 6x6 Anti tank Tug Jeep
During early WW2, two of these tugs were made for testing but probably because of the light AT gun, never made it past Aberdeen Proving Ground.
This custom version using 2 Hasbro Jeeps with a DML 37mm gun mounted was made by a craftsman in FL, who makes custom GI Joe vehicles. The tug has complete undercarriage and a ton of accessories that would have been found on a battle hardened vehicle (maps, wine, food case, 37mm ammo etc., etc.), weathered and ready for the action it never saw.
I feel proud to have it in my collection.

This is so cool! Even though it was not produced, as an experimental vehicle, it is a significant piece. It looks like a smaller version of the WC63.

Re: Custom 6x6 Anti tank Tug Jeep
The customizer that created this "tug" has made a few "conversations" of Hasbro M3 halftracks to straight personal carrier with or without pulpits. What fascinates me are his "what could have been" experimental vehicles. This "tug" would have been a very nice cargo or personal carrier if produced. He recently made a Harley Davidson mc with sidecar that had tractor off road tires. Only one was ever made and that vehicle has survived in a HD museum. BTW - I bid on that one but lost.
