Dan and Tyke

These are Dan Burke and Tyke Moses' trucks, two Vermont natives, cruiserheads, and avid off-roaders.  

Tyke, one of the most skilled fabricators I know, who custom built a tub and rear frame for my old '74 FJ40, lives in Bennington just north of the Massachussets border.  Dan jokes that Tyke thinks the Mason Dixon line is the Vermont Massachussetts line which makes me laugh just thinking about it.  

The green truck is Tykes and where else but Vermont would you find one of the beefiest Cruisers ever built (the green one) weighing in at maybe 7000lbs, including chain saw, rock bar, and tons and tons of extra steel.  Note the pipe welded to the rims to protect the tire stems along with everything else.  

The Orange truck is Dan's and also boasts a custom Tyke Moses 1/4" thick steel tub.  The Grey Mini truck is a truck that they were selling about a year ago.  I'm not sure if it's still there.  

Tyke does great work and if you ever need any custom fabrication or anything of the sort give him a ring.  He's super knowledgable about cruisers in general and their mechanics, Weber carbs, etc etc.  He's located about 1 hour from Albany in Bennington.  Email him at farmboy@sover.net
