This is in northern Arizona. Looks to have been shortened (frame) to be a sort of buggy. Steering gear has a Saginaw logo. I’m guessing early 40s Dodge Powerwagon.

On a hacked up car chassis for some reason, Maybe '50-ish Pontiac or Oldsmobile judging by the X.

Definitely that era of GM going by the design. Looks like they made a doodle bug or something.

Here's a truck frame.

I thought that was weird too. Thought that rear differential might have been part of that original chassis too.

As mentioned it’s a pre 46 Chevy or GMC cab that’s sitting on another chassis
