    M809 5T gun truck concept

    That truck I believe was called the Alabama Slammer (getting to old to remember all this stuff)----The build was started and after 6 months they decided it just wasn't worth it, too much work and stuff coming together that was just better armor---personally I'd hate to be in that thing when...

    My Guntruck build.

    Whoops-----I guess the pintel needs a little something to set in-----I don't right off know the two different sizes inside but the pintel can be measured, the outside diameter would be the size of the hole in the mount or pipe you put it in----Warren I think if your using pipe for your mounts...
