Coleman made a lot of airport, military, heavy construction and logging equipment and that "dual cab" was likely from them - note the handholds that indicate it was a good climb above the ground Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Jocks right, it's an Aircraft Tug It looks like the same picture on the bolt!

Since this isn't about Stovebolts I'm locking it down. But before I do, here are a couple of shots of the interior of the Coleman at Pima. pic 1 pic 2 | | |
