That would be a bren carrier, with a deuce bed and a roll cage.

Interesting set up.

Please correct me on this, but I thought the American version of the Bren Gun carrier (called a T-16) was the one with the ford motor in it? I got the chance to drive one over 20 years ago, it was FUN!!!!

The Canadian universal Carrier ( aka Bren Gun Carrier ) was made by Ford of Canada and had three idler wheels for the track to run on. The T-16 was manufactured by Ford in the U.S.A. and had four idler wheels for the track to run on. The Canadian and American carriers had different rear drives and used a different steering system, the T-16 being far superior. I have two friends with one of each and the T-16 is far nicer to ride in and had far more room in the drivers station.

You buy it?????

Kinda sad in 2 ways. They used and hacked up a CCKW bed and then modified the bren gun carrier. I guess its still neat and if I had 50+ acres to maintain, I probably would have jumped on it.
