    6217 specs....
    Post by brute4c on Nov 7, 2006, 4:38pm

    All I have on the 6217 is:


    Quote:
    This is the XM724 converted to the 6217 Contact Maintenance Truck. Although still stenciled with XM724 on the doors, it is now a seperate model from the original cab and chassis setup. Note that this body is taller than the M726 and is fully enclosed unlike the M726. There is a tailgate and 2 upper doors on the rear. It has a PTO driven generator/welder in the center compartment, along with the spare tire, and a large vise mounted on the tailgate, and it has the welder/generator controls in the drivers side center compartment. This body was made by Stewart Avionics. All of these vehicles are said to have come with winches.


    Reference these images:







    There are a couple pics in the old member galleries...other than that, I have nada...

    If you have more, please post up!!

    How did you get the pics? If they were given freely to you and you arent making a profit from them and arent claiming them as yours, I see no problem...

    Oh, and I meant to add that the welder in the truck above is, I believe, the only one I've seen over the wheel, behind the center box door. All others have the welder in the tall first box. This truck may be the very first one! ...and most welder units themselves are a different model than the one in the pic too.

    I copied them from various internet sites. No proffit, I am broke.

    The spare tire in my truck is mounted on the pass side and vise on the drivers.

    The pics I posted are of the prototype...thats what the X is about in XM724...

    Low miles are typical on all these trucks....low hours means it wasnt used much...again typical.

    hello all , I have a 6217 that was converted by the military from a cargo truck.the installed a 205 transfercase to get the pto outlet for the welder. they even added the park brake to the back of it. the data tag on the body says manufactured at watervelit arsenal in 1975.the data tags on the dash have hand applied overlays for tire pressure/transfercase shifting/fuel tank capacity.
    I have pics and would love to share but I need to take the time to get the procedure down.I will post when figured out. regards scott

    David Doyle wrote an article in the Feb. 2003 Military Vehicles Magazine titled "M715 family"that mentions the 6217,that is interesting reading. I dont know how to use my scanner but if somebody does and has a fax machine I can fax the article.

    The guy I am buying the truck from said the box was dated 1976. May be the same as the other 2.

    Are your guys 6217's hardtop or softtop?
