8x8 found in Colorado

[Crash_AF]

I was dropping off a trailer at the scrapper today and found this hiding in the back of the lot. It apparently is owned by the owner's brother and he's not interested in selling it. They used to have three, but they sold two of them to one of the mining operations around here. Another interesting thing is they were all expando vans... they ripped the van bodies off of them and scrapped them because nobody was interested in them. I'm going back next weekend to drop off the remains of my parts 1009s so I'll see if I can get better pics then.

Later,
Joe

That looks like the same type as cranetruck has. That came in 3 types: tractor, cargo , and the van's. Hope they don't scrap it.

Good eye, hope it remains safe for a while....

Yea, I'm pretty sure it's a 757 (or whatever the specific number is for the van) It's not being scrapped, it's just stored there.

M656 is cargo, xm757 is tractor and xm791 is the van......

Joe,
Did you ever go back to that scrap yard? What is the deal on that XM791. I assume it resides/resided somewhere around Colorado Springs?
