Ford Navigates in Flood Areas
“SERVICE regardless of flood water” is the motto of a Mississippi taxi driver who “raised” his Ford to meet the occasion. The body is elevated from the axles by using simple metal cross-frames. An elongated drive shaft and steering apparatus complete the job.
Little did he know that he was creating something that would be copied by thousands of pick-up truck owners.
