So I was at home and my dad showed me a picture of a truck in a Dodge vehicle book. It's a 63 Dodge Power Wagon Series 300 it's called the "Swamp Fox" . Just wondering if anyone has seen one of these? I think they are pretty wild! It came with 46" tires on it!
Here are some pictures of it...

That thing is flat out Bad A$$, I need one for sure...LOL... If it had hydraulic steering {military Rockwell axles} it can't be used on the public roads or get licensed/D.O.T. approval, unless it's used as/for a military vehicle...

This special Dodge Power Wagon, Series 300, was a unique 1-ton truck. Massive low pressure tires called Terra-Tires, gave this Dodge Power Wagon W-300 "Swamp Fox" maximum traction in the most difficult terrain. The front tires were 46x 18x 16 R Goodyear Super Terra-Grips while the rear ones were 46x 24x 16 R. This specially designed vehicle was one of the first all-terrain vehicles to emanate from one of the Big Three.

If I remember correctly, I saw some W-300's on the military bases in Anchorage Alaska area Army's Fort Richardson & Elmendorf AFB & in Prudoe Bay/Point Barrows North Slope hub, the 4' tall flotation tires & huge ground clearances are great for using out on the tundra & floating muskage in Alaska...
