Hey slug7, There are a couple of 8X8 guys on the site. Do a little searching around. I'm sure they will be of some help.

Where in Wa are you?

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site!
Let me know what you need. Love working on my 757. What did you use as base vehicle, M656 and pictures are a must?

I have an M656 that I bought from another member of the forum. It's terrific. Search in the five ton post Viet Nam forum for lots of pictures and info.

We need pix of your vehicles. This forum loves pix.

Where in WA are you?

Unfortunately you're not close to me (Blaine) and you're a long way from Bjorn (Virginia). However, there are lots of Steel Soldiers members in the Tacoma and Portland areas. There's a big rally in Graham in July. There's also a big July event at the Arlington Air Show. I also have a Unimog 416.163 firetruck from Germany that still has all the fire equipment. There are pix of both my M656 and firetruck in the 5 ton forum. The firetruck was my daily driver in Seattle for several years - short wheelbases rock for downtown Seattle.

Your best bet for posts for your vehicles will be in the 5-ton forums.

I think this is 733 our call number for it. Is is a m656. Two of the pic are at EVAP (emergency vehicle accident prevention) training. The other in at the Demolition derby watering down the track.

Thanks! Not much chance they would have saved the original bed, is there?
Do you have the spec on those tires?

 

[slug7]

I dont think so. I will look into it. One person may have on here. We actualy have three operational and two for pieces. THe beds are all gone.
