This thing started life as a GMC Canyon. Now it's...some kind of zombie apocalypse conveyance.

I wonder how they make the steering on these conversions. Do these things have some sort of super diff and hydraulic steering pump? Or does it steer like a tank?

Pretty sure it steers by spinning the tracks at different rates. Can't imagine it would be easy to turn the whole track with all that surface area touching the ground.

I would guess that they started with a truck and a snowcat, took the bodies off both and put the truck body on to the snowcat chassis. There is probably some type of articulation between the two sections to handle steering. The tracks look similar to some of the Scandinavian snowcats like this Hägglunds Bv206. These use articulated steering, though steering could be done by differential braking of the tracks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandvagn_…
