Re: 1960 GMC Suburban in the Field
i would assume that the sensor section runs all the way accross to the other side, so maybe they had articular steering...?

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban in the Field
I did think about an articulating rear axle. it does appear that the tire is forward and turned or is it just the shadows playing a trick. I think that an articulating axle in those years would have been a good trick

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban in the Field
Looking at the photo again the rear tire resides real close to lower fender lip at the front, which makes me feel that it does have artcular steering.

Re: 1960 GMC Suburban in the Field
That truck definitely has 4 wheel steering. Probably to get into tight areas better.
