Yeah, that belongs to Tom (something I can't remember). Some of the guys here know him. I talked to him about that truck a year or so ago. It's cool as hell, and would make an awesome camper, just needs a little TLC. He said it's really slow on the road though, lol. I wanted it real bad, but couldn't really justify the price when I could afford it, and the VA DMV wanted to give me the run around about tagging it.

Looks like it would be great for camping! Not much you couldn't go to in that baby!

Welp, seeing as people have seen it before - it was just something I found peculiar. Wonder what he's asking for it! Probably about $10k I would think.

Tom Bauer. SOme of you might remember his other truck. The M35A8 aka Millenium Reo. It was the frame up build with CAT power and redundnant everything right down to headlights and taillights. I've riden in the M791 when it had just a cargo bed. It's a neat truck.

It sold for $4750!!! Last time I saw it on Ebay the reserve was around $8k! I think I'm going to go throw up...

He had it at aberdeen. Nice setup. Too big for my driveway.
I tried to get the reo he had but couldn't come up with the $$$

Yeah, that thing is huge, but boy is it cool, lol. I don't know why, but I love the expansible van bodied trucks. I'll have one, one of these days. I see White Owl has a nice looking M820 now too.

The dude in Ft Lauderdale has an M292A1 complete with the original LDS427 engine. Its a fair truck but lethargic as heck with that heavy body and the 427. I'll bet $3000 would take it home. http://photobucket.com/albums/v460/Recovry4x4/
Look under misc for a few pics.

Met Tom at Aberdeen. The truck is beautiful!, love that 8x8. It's perfect for supporting a k-boom behind the cab (wrong body, though). It's awesome off-road too.
After driving his Millenium Reo at 70 mph+, anything must seem slow to Tom.

Can't believe it sold for only $4,700.

I'll have one, one day...
