I thought so too. Kinda like what the 715 would have evolved to. I like it, looks tough.
Congrats on the new addition! I would love to be hoisting pints with you in a pub and listening to your recovery story first hand! Post more pics.

It looks like the motor pool Sgt had a wrecked aircraft tug, and a wrecked m715. And laughs maniacally, as he asks to be handed the welder stinger...
Cool truck! I like the full air brakes! Perkins are good diesels.

However the dealer contractor Who had this and the only two others told me this was best one of the lot. I have been collecting ex U.S. military vehicles a LONG time...but digrest slightly when I bought the KRAZ 255B. and when I just sold my M series 5ton trctor unit and 47 foot recovery trailer, then two ex USAAF dodge dakotas..

This is what happens with the French try to breed an M35, M715, and swill it with some wine as an aphrodisiac. Product of the breeding experiment is something that can't be described, but might be practical. One of the first times the French came up with something worthwhile. Interesting to look at though. Googling around the net, the 4x4 version would be a beef of a pickup. Wonder how they stack up compared to a hummer?
