Hmm.. there's been talk on the ORD about "Geby" of TTC fame (built Jeep with
the IH Ag equipment hydraulic ram steering) and his hydraulic ram setup...
he used it for steering and suspension...

I wonder what type of pneumatic motor I could find would do.. kinda like
hooking a big impact wrench up to the center of the wheel hub...

Air powered axles, air powered suspension, and air powered steering... if it
weren't for that big 392 running on half of it's cylinders, I'd have a
pretty nifty "whispler noisy" air powered truck...

Oh, don't forget air brakes...
