Maybe it's just a Navy thing but if you only have three wheels, how can you have FWD? I don't know, I was Air Force and we needed four wheels to have FWD (seem only natural as F=Four W=Wheel and D=Drive)?One of the Navy's 3 wheel FWD rear steer jeep conversions, I remember racing them about 20 years after that picture was taken around NAS's!
They were using F100's until 1979? Wow!Danish F-100F '56-3927' No.315 Squadron/Klu October 1979 PETF

They actually reversed the engine and transmission and relocated the rear axle to the front, they were rear steer with the 1 rear wheel. the conversions were done in the late 1940's or early 1950's. they usually had a electrical generator mounted to them for starting the early jet engines. By the time I was around them they were mostly retired to the Navel Air Stations and used as electrical power carts.
