Were Early M151 Prototypes made from Bamboo?

Unread post by mrdibbles » November 26th, 2008, 2:47 pm

Dear Forum-
I found a long wheel-base M151 prototype online and my curiosity immediately started to build. Has anyone had any experience owning, operating, or researching Bamboo variants? I have always been good at weaving and I already have a healthy stand of bamboo plants thriving on my side-yard. My first inclination is to think this would be ideally suited to my maintenance skills. Ideas?
Regards,
Matt-
