| #6346 Uni-Tred Space Hauler Box Front |
The Uni-Tred Space Hauler is a somewhat ubiquitous vehicle that most collectors seem to have owned. The packaging variation allowed it to be purchased as a single vehicle, rather than as more expensive
Uni-Tred and Space Bubble set.

John's Notes:
It's interesting that the #6339 Uni-Tred and Space Bubble set actually
has an earlier Stock Number. I think this was originally intended as a
combination set, and later split up into each component. Designs appear
to be from a caterpillar-style construction vehicle such as a bulldozer
or tank. This is a unique vehicle and does not appear to be based on any
actual space designs.
