Hi everyone. Does anyone know of someone that might sell a Ford M656 8X8 5 ton carrier? I have heard from others that there might be someone in Eastern Oklahoma that owns one -- does anyone know the person? Please help! I am really trying to purchase one (an original from WWII) as soon as possible.
Thanks everyone.

Don't think you'll find a WW2 one, they were built after. Cranetruck will know when they were built for sure.

Hawthorne Tractor in Lake City FL has one, also SECO in Augusta GA has one. Neither is complete and any you find will be big $$$$$.

There is a road tractor, xm757 in Eastern OK for sale. There was an m656 in Hendersen NV for sale a while back also one in San Diego, all pretty expensive, I'm trying to save up for the one at SECO in GA just to save it from the scrapper.....it's not complete, missing engine, transmission and one axle...the Florida one is too much money ($5,000) and missing the engine and transmission with the cab in bad condition.
They were designed and built by Ford in the mid sixties, very few were built, all in 1969.

That black and silver "party barge" was on e-bay a while back.

I've got 80 some and they all fit in one garage.
Mostly 1/35 scale.
And the "toys-r-us" jingle doesn't work on model half-tracks, just so's ya know.

What is that party barge a Tatra? It would be an interesting save just paint it green and use it for tours of Haspin

No, it's a M656. The cargo version of Bjorn's 8x8 tractor.
