Got to agree with you Dave, I would give my right nut for that truck. Don't
have the $$ or the room right now.

Subject: Re: [MV] Cool truck on Ebay (update)
Cool truck....not an expert on vehicles this recent, but think this is one
of
the pre-production prototypes built by Tactical Truck (no, not Jeff
Symanski,
but the joint venture of GM and Bowen-McLaughlin-York) to try to win the
FMTV
contract (which of course Stewart and Stevenson won). With the VIN number
of
3 that supports my position. While the engine and tranny are stock items,
many other pieces would be one-off and a real bear to replicate.
Nevertheless, it is certainly worthy of preservation....wouldn't one of you
guys like to have Ford GP #3? I'd like to have the pre-production prototype
of the big deuce Studebaker built to unsuccessfully compete with the Reo
M-35...but alas it appears to have been scrapped long ago.
My .02,
David Doyle
