The Coolest Forklift Truck

Its a good thing that this video is worth the effort because the upload failed TWICE. This unique machine needed a video to fully comprehend what it is that you are looking at. I don't usually do videos for old iron, but this is a special case. This is late April in the BC interior, shorts and T-shirt weather, while it rained in Vancouver.
Also..I was wondering after the fact ...does this thing have one forward gear and four reverse...or did the builders do something about that? ( when it is going forward in forklift mode )

A second pick-up/forklift was found in Aug/2012 on Vancouver Island. The link to photos is here..

    The axle gets flipped around so it doesn't run in reverse when the forward gears are in use.

    Awesome...thanks for that. I just returned from a trip to Vancouver Island. I found another "truck" forklift there.

    It'll be under the title "Frankie the Forklift" in a day or two.

    I'll put a link to it on this post.
