Anyone else notice a resemblance?

Wow....guess I'd better get mine running and driving *BEFORE* the sale!

Under mine looks like Chevy through and through. Finding parts for this thing shouldn't be a problem at all...

I suspect that the same engineer was involved…wasn't that much later that the hummer design was introduced!

Which are you referring to Steve?

Funny you should say that, I've always felt this truck has a seriously strong resemblance to the hummer front end...

Haha….got that right! It's like sitting on the floor in there! But strangely it works….

Thanks! It's quite unique. One thing that I noticed was the strange sort of….err….resemblance to the HMMWV. I was walking around it today thinking that someone might have been involved in the design of both. Do a full body 4-door version of the XM705 and guess what that'll look like….only a...

Just bought an M705 today. VIN: B100019. No rot. Surprisingly clean. It's a '71 transferred to the Agency of Natural Resources, Water Dept. in 1972 but the bed is intact and un-converted. Painted black. Gas 350. Holley single barrel carb. Couple extra wires, but all original and very...
