very interesting FMTV prototype

[maddawg308]

Saw this on our favorite website. Looks like an FMTV prototype wrecker. Very cool.

Anybody have any further information about this class of prototypes?

Yes, but he is not breaking any rules.

He didn't give a link, he didn't say what our favorite site is, etc.

For all we know, these pictures could have been taken from Wikipedia or Olive Drab.

... Yes, therefore it DOES NOT MEET Quality Control Standards for government auctions and may NEVER get an EUC

Our own JouquinSuave owns the cargo version. Very interesting truck indeed.

actually, i dig it - functionality-wise. that 3pt retrieval system is hands-down better than the crappy stinger system that the 1089 uses.

though, in either case the MHE is about worthless because it has to be positioned mid-frame. that's ok, though: the 1089's really only get called to tow HMMWVs, anyway.

This is a funny/good post......like the truck also... I recently opened a battery box compartment on a FMTV Deuce and again liked the truck, 2 levers and it effortlessy opened up and out to my waist level in easy view and availability,and all 4 batts were only held down very well by only one nut in the middle and walla out they came. ... Flame on.... i like em, But know they are not what they could be, and i also preffer a real looking truck, but like the guys say here, they are easy to drive and have some comfort. there are just so many cool things that should have been on all m series trucks, its hard to list em all...
