I know a lad locally who has two that may be for sale, am seeing him thursday night.
From the photos very un-molested examples.

Frank...do you refer to the 5T multi-fuel veh?

Similar to the US M818 etc?

There's a guy fairly local who went to Texas, bought one, and drove it back.

I test drove it...the M818 has a manual tranny with a long throw shifter much like an M37.

Hi John, the 800 series is all diesel , Cummins 250, these are nice trucks , we have a bunch at the museum, just getting ready to build a M-813 dropside cargo,
