Knowing we all like snowcat photos, I thought I'd share these from a 1963 movie "7 Days in May" (mediocre movie)..
Anybody know what these are? At least 4 of them appear in a scene.
I don't belive they're the M29 Weasel, which is larger with small boggey wheels.
One shot shows a front mounted diff. that could be an OC-4.

Looks like a lot of fun whatever it is.

There is a vehicle movie database, for the life of me I can't find the link to the website but they try to catalogue every vehicle ever used in every movie. That would be the place to look if nobody here has an answer!

Click to expand...

Thanks for the idea, I found this listing of 2730 different vehicles: http://www.imcdb.org/makes.php
and Thiokols listed there.

Nothing quite matches, but I agree they look Thiokolish

Seems like a very comprehensive database... and conspicuously, no Kristys or Krusties.. maybe I should look under 'trailer queens'? :whistling:

I knew it was a 201 the second I say the pic. My dad had one back in the early 1970s here in Fairbanks. I am trying to locate it's whereabouts. Maybe, it's still here in town somewhere just waiting for me. Unless Boogie has allready scooped it up!:wave:
