1936 Oshkosh Truck for Sale

Thanks to Streetwise (links and text):

Ford Tough doesn't compare to Oshkosh Truck tough!
A
1936 Oshkosh truck equipped with a heavy-duty snowblower will go up for auction in Marshall this month, the Associated Press reported late last week.Now, we knew Oshkosh Truck Corp. makes its vehicles tough enough to withstand the worst insurgents can throw at them, but this takes the cake! Seventy winters, and
we're not talkin' about some sissy winters in Kanasas or Missouri!

And did we mention this sucker is HUGE! (Scroll down to the second listing to see it and get the details.)

Nicknamed "Big Red," Lyon County officials say the truck still runs and a former operator, Leon Mumm said he wishes it would end up in a museum somewhere. We can't help but agree and feel Big Red should return to its home.
