    Duke, wasn't yours one of the old Zamboni Jeeps? Or am I thinking of one of the other white jeeps around here? Maybe that had something to do with it.

    Did it have the 4 studs for mounting the speedo spot welded in?

    Interesting. Sounds original, maybe some special application?

    You're probably thinking of Tonka, he used to be a Zamboni. He's a fairly early 55 (sn 378) & has the standard dash.
