Prototype fiberglass airdrop cab 6x6 truck

[Suprman]

Won something neat today. Anyone ever seen one of these? Looks like one could just have flat glass cut to size for the windows. Cab looks like fiberglass.

Nice.
Kinda looks like Kevlar to me. But it could be the light.

 

[Suprman]

That would be pretty neat. Probably just reinforced fiberglass though. I have seen other odd prototype things come out of the Ohio area over the years.

I saw that. Looks like uncle gave the idea thumbs down. Would be nice to reassemble a LVAD 5 ton, but a M1081 would have to be sacrificed to do so. Probably just good for parts?

I followed it too. Pretty neat project.

I gave that some thought, but decided I had enough parts trucks. Congrats on the purchase.

I have an extra cab setup here. Someone will have to have the fancy cab and I can swap on a regular one.

I saw that one today, congrats on the purchase. The photos seem to show no steering column, etc yet in the build-out but it was difficult to tell 100%. I'm excited to hear the rest of the story as you experience it

 

[DiverDarrell]

Yes nice score!! I hope you post more photos when you get it in hand. Id like to know how far they progressed this too. Personally im thinking this was a mock up for the armored cabs, hence the flat sides. Way cool truck you have, would be cool to see it finished.

Saw that listed yesterday, glad it went to someone who can appreciate it. My thought thought: you've got a whole heap of work ahead of you. Will be interested to hear how it goes!

 

[Suprman]

If I make it a runner it would probably be by swapping on a regular cab. I just dont have time to fab up the fancy cab on it. Would be neat though. Im sure I can find someone with more time than me who wants the cab.

Wasn't there a finished out cab, same as this, seats and all that sold on GL not long ago? Had steering column but no steering wheel. I didn't think it was composite, but couldn't tell.

 

[Suprman]

I didnt see one like this before. Plenty of regular airdrops

 

[tobyS]

Not sure I know the difference. I could be mistaken. Computer took a dump so can't go back to see.

I need to find a place in ohio to have it towed out to. The site has a 6 hour pickup window one day a week.

Send it to somebody down here in Florida to use in the sun & sand, or out to Arizona for that matter; just not to me as I already have a M1081 with no turrent cover.

 

[Suprman]

Just need to get it off the base.

Its here. Def fiberglass. Real light cab and a bit roomier than the original metal ones. Says prototype on some paperwork that was with it.

What did you do with this?

Where is it now?
