XM708

[bigbee]

Cabell,

Rather than steal Keith's thread, here's a pic of Pete K's XM708 at one of our fall trail rides. Don't know if this let's you get a vision of the mud flaps or not. I looked for one from the back, but all I have are a lot of the front end. (The photographer was riding in the back of a deuce just ahead of this truck on the ride.) I may have an old print in my files that shows the back end better. I'll look for that a little later.

Note the height of the box frame above the wheel. That's about the only giveaway from the side.

Cabell, love to see updated pics on any work you have done on your XM708. That's a rare bird, and it would be a great looker at the next Aberdeen!

Thanks for the photos... The bedsides also are different so somebody who knows could tell that the bed is not a M37, but you are right about that tire clearance beeing a big giveaway... Great seeing it with the canvas on the bed as well as getting a view of the flaps.

Not much to see with mine right now... I haven't started any cosmetic work yet. I've been too busy assembling parts for it (going to replace the entire driveline since the one that was in it was parted by the former owner and I've got a donor truck to pull pieces from...). I've got two other projects that I have to run through the body shop before I start blasting and painting on the little dumper...

I really want to have it at Aberdeen along with its big brother. (and my cooking gear).

back end photos

I guess the XM708 dump box does actually go under the "bodywork" category.

Here are a couple pics of Pete's truck that might show the back end to better advantage.
