maddzz1 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 This is parked near my work, and it has a load sensing valve on the rear axle like an MJ.
bigalpha Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Looks like it might be a Jeep Forward Control. If it was, it would have a distinctive Jeep grill: http://images.google.com/images?q=jeep%20forward%20control&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
jpdocdave Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 ya, and jeep forward control seemed to be primarily smaller, not a large group of sizes unimogs come in many different sizes and functions. here's one kinda like that pic http://www.armyvehicles.dk/images/uni416_2.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2017/205 ... ff9a88.jpg
whowey Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 The cab makes me think neither Jeep nor Mog. It looks like something from Europe.. It looks alot like others from Steyr-Daimler-Puch. Or even possibly something Eastern Bloc.

Eagle Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 looks like a unimog to me. I agree. MUCH too big to be an FC-150
DirtyComanche Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I don't think it's a MOG... Did the axles have portal boxes?
jtdesigns Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I don't think its a forward control because the bottom of the doors don't follow the wheel wells.
jpdocdave Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 i still think unimog, there are hundreds of different compilations of them. they came in so many forms who could keep track. obviously the front will tell. i think its an older mog, but i looked throug some pics and didn't see a complete flat front mog.
johnnyc Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Definitely not a Forward Control. My buddy has an FC-170, and it looks nothing like that.
maddzz1 Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 I don't think it's a MOG... Did the axles have portal boxes? The axles both had things box type things on them almost like the cad; but different from the cad. It had benches in the back like a personnel carrier. The front rims had a step built into them, five or six pieces of metal that came out off the rim maybe six inches so you could use it as a step to reach the other bar type step to get into the cab. The grill was similar to the forward control but different.
jeepdoggydogB Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Wasn't there a Canadian outfit that made a vehicle called the FWD in WWII?
deziped Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Looks similiar to some British military haulers I've seen.
