I wanted to share with you guys, a rarity of a Military Vehicle, owned by Bjorn Brandstedt at Blue Ridge VA. Bjorn did nor serve in the Pershing Missile FA (US Army) where this truck was assigned. But, when he saw the rarity of this vehicle, he went after it.
This is one model of two types of this 5 ton Amphibious Truck.
The XM757. Note: This XM757 is the Tractor Truck version used to pull the Launcher /Trailer for the Pershing Missile, (The EL, = Erector Launcher) This version was not fitted for Amphibious Ability. There was no need for it.
The XM656, was the cargo truck version which was fitted with air inflated cargo and crew doors, Bilge pump and propeller. These are 4 axle trucks. 2 front and 2 rear. No duals. Built with an aluminum chassis.
Bjorn wants to find a cargo bed for his XM757 so he can convert it to the XM656 cargo truck They both have the same frame length
You can search You Tube for the XM757 and find Blorn's Videos.
