Wow!!! Abso-(expletive deleted at the request of management)-lutley fantastic animal!!!!!! At the risk of sounding ignorant, that's the OIF GunTruck they found, right? I have only seen one picture of the wee beastie. Can you give me some more intel on it?
BUT, before that. The real thing wasn't built with a M113 shell was it?

Tread.

........damn! I love this build!!

The answer to your questions are yes. They mated the M-113a2 APC gutted shell toi an M-800 series Tractor. After over six months of trying to build this beast the Army pulled the plug. But I will finish my version.If you go to this url there are some more photos of the beast. http://community.webshots.com/album/92508045vVhFUA
