Funny u said that. I read ur story bout getting your new 8x 8 that week a guy from California put one for sale in calgary. 250miles hook lift 53" rubber 400hp d dec two. I traded a dodge Dually for a busted up Mack truck for this 757 I love it and am lucky it's mint. U guys all stay in touch with me if u see parts. Let me know if there is anything I can help with too.

I'm positive it's longer than a m35 bed. Either way I'm so lucky it's in the condition it is. I run it everyday. Pulling my 6070 new holland and excavator to site and on the weekends we load the troops in the back n go shooting. Biggest mistake I ever made was wasting time on civilian vehicles! Military strong for me. Plus my fifty looks sick locked up in there

An M35 bed doesn't compare. A 656 bed is all aluminum with 3 fold down sides & rear, integrated fold out aluminum seats with steps when in the down position and air seals to keep water out.

Scott, good to hear its back on the road, last time I heard it was in poor shape.

Finally responded to your PM, Alwaysfixin, here are a few pictures of my 757,2013 0718 xm757 meadows of dan shut down.jpg2013 0527 xm757 max rpm stencil.jpg2013 0315 meadows of dan, getting 8x8 inspected (1).jpg

Keep an eye on the rpm, it's easy to overrev if you select the wrong gear.
I love driving mine too...

This tag is not an xm757, but the m656. The previous owner may have wanted to convert it to a road tractor before finding the M35 bed and marked up the tag.
This is the xm757 tag:
