Default Vietnam-type gun trucks in existence

I know the only surviving Vietnam gun truck is Eve of Destruction, at the Army Transportation Museum at Ft. Eustis, VA. There might be one or two still in Vietnam on display at a state-owned motor pool (pile) of captured USA armor (not sure about that but I have heard rumors). However, my question is: how many replica Vietnam gun trucks are out there in the USA that have been built up over the past several years by MV collectors? To include 1/4-ton, 3/4-ton, 2.5-ton, and 5-ton variants...

There was a reasonably well done 1/4 ton( M151A1) at the MVPA National at Ft. Lee, VA. in 2001. I do not know who owned it.

There is an armored M151 in front of an MP headquarters on Fort Hood. Can't remember exactly where though.
