Re: Half-Track Ford Trucks
In doing my book research, I was unable to confirm my suspicion that Cunningham used the caterpillar track manufactured by Cletrac. Cletrac (based in Cleveland) made small caterpillar tractors and the size and driving system seems somewhat similar. Couple it with one of the half-track truck "builder" photos taken in front of what looks to be a Cletrac factory or dealership. Here's a couple of Cletrac tractor images for comparison.
