Hi All,
are there any references out about the M1085 LWB variant of the MTV. Photos and drawings especially. Had some close encounter with the truck and plan to add it to the collection some day.

I guess you've already taken a look at surplus trucks dealers sites like Ironplanet.com that often provide detail pics. No M1085 are currently for sale there, but a quick Google image search shows that some regularly pop up...Just be patient 
The closest match I've found is this crane-fitted M1086 :

On a side note, this 3D model is quite convincing to my unexpert eyes
