Somebody could make a decent one if they started with a long-bed deuce. The normal M35 bed is 14' long, but the long-bed is 20' long. They could put a 14' bed on a 20' chassis, leaving plenty of room to cobble in another half a cab. Somebody ought to do that while we still have lots of residue M35s and M54s to play with. Lord knows the government's not going to ever let any newer MVs, especially not HMMWVs, out to the public. Yes, I know the picture is of a 5 ton (M54) of some sort. I don't know if there's a long-bed 5-ton.
I agree the photo is fake, not only because of the wierd wheel well, but the back door has half of a west-coast mirror visible above it, and the cab canvas looks funky. In fact, the entire narrow strip including and below that "rear" mirror is clearly copied and pasted from the front mirror. The camo pattern doesn't match the rear door, but it's an exact duplicate of the hinge area on the front door.
