I have just started messing with replicating the unique to Special Forces Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWV "gun truck" vinyl soft cover for the corrugated cargo panel cargo enclosure. But the 3 places I knew of selling the MIL-PRF-209664 tent vinyl by the yard or by the roll have stopped...
The DWF Sensor Cup was originally installed on the body by the frame in the A Pillar area.
The installation of the armor upgrades over the GWOT necessitated the cup be relocated to by the front differential... That narrow bracket between the brake guards is the 2nd different variation...
As a reference, the original Modification Work Order Kit the military issued to replace those 1st gen seats with the Highbacks, 57K0290, you can find in the TM section. It will show you what had to be air chiseled off the driver position, and how the footwell was modified with 2 aluminum...
I've located 2PAIRS in that bolt hole forward configuration, one pair aluminium in CARC Tan686, one pair steel in black.
Those HVAC vent angle adapters, I'm going to tell you, the original GI ones are teh suxs. The 1/4-28 threaded stud is only pressed into the hole. The stud strips out of...
Roger this pic was in the magazine article you posted in the 9th ID Facebook Group. Looks like aluminum blocks clamped around the rear frame tubes with a flat bar connecting both sides, that supported the stowage shelf overtop the engine bay.
Is that an Empi air filter box over the carb...
The two pcs of aluminum tubing with the ends squished flat are for the tunnel insulation panels.
The long silver/bare aluminum strip closes the tunnel side of the seat boxes.
The installation would have another sheetmetal flange about 4-5 inches long for the seat bucket to the rocker panel...
The 9th ID Team Spirit Korea deployment photo of the XM1041 TOW FAV performing overwatch of the tank bridge crossing has the best visible detail of the TOW-unique rear cargo bin, but not clear enough:
Was this another former Wackenhut Security/Nevada Test Site Security Car? With the rear wheels mounted on the car, would there be space on each side for a spare centered where each of the receiver mounts were?
And in the movie "(The) Delta Force" were there spare tires or something else...
Do I see a horizontal hole through the center? Somebody used it for some kind of quick release type accessory. There is a similar box hitch type accessory bracket bolt to the rear bumpers of some SF Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWV, used mostly for a spare tire carrier:
There is also an...
I see the 6.5l engine coolant crossover installed.
I would think by 2007 all the pre 1995 GM blocks that had the cooling deficiency issues causing the rear, curbside cylinder to crack, would have been coded out of the system. The only way to tell is the casing markings on the block by the...
From what I was told there was no National Security Exemption for the 6.5l NA engines for the 1995 build year trucks because it wasn't required as a Cat was part of the exhaust system so the above decal indicates the 1995 6.5l NA GEP engine MEETS the EPA emissions for that model year.

Is that AMG Spare Tar Carrier the same as this one on a CTIS equiped SF Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV? The bumper mount looks the same.
And there would be a 2 MFC/MWC Water and/or Fuel Can Carrier on the street side, better pics here since'n you axed:
What's your engine type and year? I have a few for 6.5l NA 1995. I 'll post a pic after I dig them out of my dataplate/vehicle decal box.
This one is mismarked for a 1995 6.2l NA, its just the jpg I happen to currently have on the laptop I'm typing on.
