Eight Wheel GMC in Wasilla, AK

Driving from Anchorage to Denali on Highway 3 leaving Wasilla last week and saw this on the side of the road. I have never seen one like this. Pretty Cool!

Pretty cool! I've seen the original (or one of) Big Foot and it had duals all around like that. I bet that was fun to transport all the time.

Re: Eight Wheel GMC in Wasilla, AK

Didnt they combine the Big Orange and the Ultra rare corvette package when they made those??


I do like that truck though, There are a couple of Prius' I could smash around here with that thing!!
