I was watching Gearz TV this weekend and Stacey David had a beast of a 6x6 in the shop. I know he has previously worked on a sur-trek and I guess he has caught the amphibious fever like many of us. I trolled the net today searching for a pic to post, but I can’t seem to find one. I think you can go to staceydavid.com and watch episode 8 from this season (5). I would link it but I’m currently at work and can’t do the YouTube thing. The last few minutes of the episode, they show him driving the thing around the shop. I did not recognize it, and was curious if anyone else could. It looks to be very comparable to a KID but a 6x6 with larger tires.
Thats funny ,I was searching his website this past weekend trying to find out what that was, i even check some military sites and cant find a thing, I know there was an episode where he was draging it out of the woods from a sweet new trailer set up he put together on a show not to long ago
In the very beginning of the clip there was a large 6x6 shown. Is that what you are referring to?
That was a restored M-561 Gama Goat. M-561 6X6 GAMA GOAT MILITARY TRUCK I drove one early in my military years. I remember they were very temperamental machines and broke down often. I remember one time the right center tire broke off and passed us going down a hill. Strange part is after I lost the wheel, it drove better with just 5. Everyone in my unit was so happy when they replaced them with brand new HMMWVs.
Thank you for all your info, but this machine he is working on is not a gama goat like in the picture, It is some kind of full sized 6+6 almost think it may be a Kid,
I saw a repeat of the show last night and have been searching the web to figure out what it is, it is definitely not a Gamma Goat, it looks like an enlarged version of a Max Buffalo Truck without the tilt bed on it and by the color of it it looked military, it was painted Olive Drab (OD) green. I'll keep searching and report back if I find out anything about it.
