Last month, we posted an article asking for information on the Storm Warning monster truck. Ron Bulson, owner and builder of Storm Warning, contacted us with some information and photos of the truck in its prime.
This is my second truck. The first was called Instigator a 1979 Ford Bronco. We started building Storm Warning in 1991. I ran the truck until 1996. I sold it to John Seasock in 1996 an he renamed it Sudden Impact. I mostly ran on the east coast an Canada. The truck was a tubular frame with extra long leaf springs with four shocks on each side. Rockwell 106 axles with 20 ton planetary knuckles with disc brakes. Front and rear steer, Goodyear 66 inch tires. The engine was a 1971 429 cobra jet bored and stroked to a 514. Tunnel ram with two predator carburetors back by a C6 transmission to a profab transfer case. A 1992 fiberglass body. The truck worked real well. The truck landed with no bounce and was quick because of it light weight. I’ll get some more picture to you soon.

Can anyone tell us about this photo? It is tagged “Chevy Bomb Trucknn3”

We do a a lot of articles on Off Road Action about military vehicles. While we oooh and aaah over the photos, we tend to think little about the soldiers. For a reason, we do not put very graphic photos on this website. I know that we do not thank the soldiers often enough here and it is something that we would like to change. They put their lives on the line for our freedom. While you may or may not agree with modern military practices, you do have to admit that these brave men and women deserve recognition for their courage and sense of pride for their country. As one soldier said, ” If you do not stand behind our military, feel free to stand in front of them. ”

Last week, we featured some vintage black and white photos of Willys Jeeps in WW2 from the Canadian Archives. This week we bring you some Willys Jeeps that were used as ambulances. Enjoy!

Here is a great vintage photo from the midwest short course racing vault. I have heard comments that it is Rod Attig’s buggy in the front with his brother Sid’s off road race buggy in the back. Also, it may have been taken in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Can anyone confirm this or provide more information?

I came across this video of a FC 170 forward control Jeep snowblower on the FC Connection website. I know…with winter just around the corner, we are trying not to think about snow, but damn, I would love to be out there blowing snow every day with this rig!

Dave from Ewillys.com recently came across a goldmine of vintage army photos from the Canadian military. The photos are from the National Archives Of Canada website. I found the photos interesting for a number of reasons. First of all, I am Canadian and love Canadian history. Secondly, the photos have the names of people and location of the photos where possible, along with the month and year. For example, the photo above was tagged “Troopers of the Three Rivers Regiment in a jeep, England, 22 July 1942.”

Throughout the next few weeks, we will be featuring a number of the photos. You can bet I will be looking for photos of my grandparents!

Back in March, we did an article about what happened to the Krimson Krusher monster truck. Today, we have an awesome photo of the Krimson Krusher in action. Do you have any vintage monster truck photos that you would like to contribute?
