    F-600 on bobbed deuce chassis

    I have to agree with gimpyrobb...Why cross-breed? I think your $$$ would be FAR better spent on dolling up a more modern military truck than "playing cut & hack". You'll also be able to use your toy between remodeling projects, as opposed the having two piles of truck smeg cluttering up your...

    Spotted these yesterday...

    I meet a guy that was on the team that designed & built my LMTV for GM & BMY. It was his feeling that S&S probably offered "somebody" in the DOD more than their mediocre LMTV prototype to get the contract. I don't think that he was saying that because he was a sore looser.

    fmtv made... different?

    Rumor around the "campfire" is... Badboy Trucks was not completely honest in telling S&S they're intended uses for the trucks they purchased were, and that S&S has suspended ALL commercial sales of their FMTV's....After dealing with the KOOKS! The source of this info is VERY good! If true...
