Freightliner M916 Crew Cab

[tcody]

This was one of the more interesting sales that ended today. Lots of money, but pretty rare truck. If I remember there were either 16 or 18 of these made for the NAVY. Went for 50K plus fees.

What site was that on?

 

[M1075]

Sweet! Need more pics. I have been wanting to do that to one of mine since someone posted pics of one like that a few years ago!

GSA. Derrick - I figured you got that one - your collection is pretty stellar. That would have been a nice addition - plus I am in driving distance to you so I could have made a road trip to see it!
Cheers

James - I will try to download and post them tomorrow - right now I have to go in to work. I tried to link to the completed auction, but couldn't. If you log into your GSA account you will find it by going to "other" closed auction and type in: TRACTOR WITH BOAT HAULER/CRADLE
Cheers

I don't know for sure, but I think it should just be an Allison HT740. It is a M916A1 era truck.

They put up such terrible photos of the truck. I suspect given the price it sold for, somebody who could use the trailer picked it up.

That's an awesome looking truck. Hope it goes to someone who will not only use it, but take care of it.

Here are the pics I saved from the last time a rig like this came up.

That's a bad arse vessel right there. More of that littoral combat fleet the Navy has been building.

GSA has no fees and gives you the SF-97 for free.

That is the Defender coastal patrol craft. The Seabees and Seals use for insertions of Special Ops crews .

My bad! I don't buy too much on GSA.

The Seals get all of the coolest toys.

I am a deuce guy at heart, but that thing is epic. If i had $50K left over after the DUKW, that would be the next ride.

I know it's an old thread, but I was trying to dig up info on these tractors. The boat is the Navy Mark V Special Operations Craft. Right before separating from the Navy, I was fortunate enough to see 6 of these trucks with boats. They were being staged for delivery in a hangar at NAS Norfolk. That was early spring of 1997.

In the pic looking at it from the front, it looks like a transformer in the middle of turning into a decepticon.

 

[M1075]

I never really embarked on my build and don't have a M916A1. I do have a couple of Freightliner cabs if anyone is contemplating a crew cab.

It looks like there are still a few of these beasts roaming around Little Creek, VA.
