It might be part of a push me/pull me aircraft tug.  I like the railroad theory too. 1950 Chevy Advance Design 3100 in ScotlandIn the Stovebolt GalleryMore pix on Flickr.

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: 1,781 Master Gabster | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,781 | 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 | | |
