Subject: [GMCnet] 6x6 gmc
someone posted some links on the facebook site.
Company is building up a 6x6 gmc in Phoenix. I know it will make some
purist mad, but pretty cool in my book. As long as they are getting used,
and not rotting in a field getting chewed up by mice, I think it is all a
good thing. Even if it is no longer FWD.

It is definitely going to need at least 2 Ragusa steps.

Jim,
From the frame photos i saw, it is pretty obvious the chassis is totally custom built for the task. Like you, I'm assuming they used military 6x6 equipment as it is the most readily available. I'd like to see more technical details on the build as I've occasionally thought of building an all-terrain RV. Something about the vast wilderness we have up here in the great white north.
