Been going through the albums I have and it looks like most the gun jeeps didn't have names or graphics on them---still got more to go but here's a few---I added some without names and a few with no armor------Driver

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...

Malfunction is something totally different----The new book---so they scanned photos from the museum (same thing Kutta did when he worked there)---talked to no gun truckers or even Nam Vets, and reorganized info from exsisting books---maybe I could even "write" a book or should it be said to...

The armor on my M-37 was thicker then 1/4" but when Ron built the Black Widow thats what he used, there was some issues on the 5 ton with the armor flexing but on a 3/4 ton I don't think there would be an issue

I haven't heard anything good about that new book---among gun truckers, I don't believe he even talked to any gun truckers--never knew either that we coulda choosen different thicknesses---also any armor you see with those gun ports in it was hardened, The PSP thing was earlyer with steel plate...

Here is the finished product----Sammy built these mounts for the Ace truck---That lucky dog----The guy with the beard is Murdutt, driver of the Eve

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...

Just in case anyone needs em----I sent these to SMOKEWAGON66 but then thought someone else may be interested----here are the measurements to build an A-Cav mount, Thanks go out to Mark of the Jersey Crew with that Angel truck------Driver

A sensitive guntrucker-----I hope that don't get out

The photo in post #29 (the 5 ton) is from the album of Tommy Canada, he was with the 572nd trans, thats the first time I have seen it on a 5 ton, shortly they had three gun trucks, The Gypsy Bandit (was turned in as The Ace of Spades then shows up as The Gypsy bandit) Tarkus, and a truck painted...

Naw----Its on a 5 ton------see that little strip of armor on the rear of the box?--is that the same piece on Tarkus just ahead of the tail armor?
