I was about to say I saw one of these at the Pima Air Museum 30 years ago, but then I checked the hood number on some old pictures I took back then and realized it's the same truck. Back then it was painted desert tan with red wheels. Talk about UGLY!

Actually, the ugly comment I made was referring to the desert tan and red color scheme, but now that I think about it the truck itself was way more functional than "pretty"!
