Simply way, way too cool.
Sled-bunny magnet on the trails!!! 
I call shotgun!
I'm gonna do just the inverse... I'm gonna drop a 601 body on a 3500 GMC! Riding large in the hood.
Minor ones....aux. hydraulic pump had a leak,changed the pump, today I snapped the belt,probably due to the oil
the belt looked fine until examined closely.

Infuenced by bobp and snowops, instigated by mainer, heres a short clip........MAINER Your turn !!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnzdaX72GnY
OK, OK, here is some old footage I had when I was traveling around the world test driving historical tracked rigs ... some of these just real beasts but they all failed in comparison to the over-powering beastlyness of the 601 !!!
Most of this footage was taken by friends traveling along side in one of my 601's while I test drove all of these other vehicles! 
Whenever I got any of these rigs stuck then usually the 601 was used to just pull them right out... whew!

Looks quite similar in design to the 62,000 pound Army Musk Ox we have here. Mainer, I think it calls for you to restore it. 700 hp four speed Allison power shift 50+ mph comes with spares government price 1,250,000 the ultimate tracked carrier.
You know it is Airforce 601 BlueAttachments
Heck, I would like that ...but there are a couple of bridges that would have to be "beefed-up" to hold 62,000 lbs.

What's interesting about your van conversion is that you've been able to capitalize on the creature comforts of a high-volume, low-cost van body and interior. Snowcats in the realm of our group didn't get produced in these 100K volumes which enabled lower-cost manufacturing coupled with nice interiors, etc. There's some merit to doing such a conversion. It would be really interesting if a van could be made without the wheelwells, since it would look like it was produced exclusively for a snowcat.

I agree fully...and I think T2T has a very lucrative market just sitting there in front of him with cash to be made!!!! Take that van and market it right... pick up a bunch of commoditized blah-blah-2100's and 3700's for a song...they're everywhere... profits to be made!
