Thanks for the LRDG trucks! If I was rich, I would love to build an LRDG Chevy replica.

Somewhere, I saw a picture of the Russians using Model A's like jeeps on sand dunes. They fitted balloon tires and you could go anywhere in those cars. I went down a beater road (unintentionally) in august in my 'A' with dad following in the 4 runner and trailer. I bounced around and had a blast, dad-not so much.

Those cars, and Model T's were built to handle roughing it. Overall road quality then was much different than now. Those cars may not ride like today's Cadillacs, but they will go through a lot. Those pizza cutter tires and the clearance they had really does the trick.
Still, life expectancy for cars back then was not what it is now for today's vehicles. True, they were built for what passed for thoroughfares on those pre-interstate days, but they only had the technology they had.
