I really apologize for this super-late reply if you look at some pics from this SS thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?2780-The-A-frame-kit-(hoist)-for-M35-let-s-talk-about-it ...you will find a couple sketches of the parts as wells as pics of how I attached the...

That’s badass- I woulda done that if I could have found thin-wall 7” stainless tube.

I never noted that I made the tank. It’s 18 gg stainless (not sure of the alloy); we have a shear and brake at work that I used. Instead of trying to TIG the end cap seams, I drilled holes in the flanges, plug-welded them on, then sealed with Super Black RTV gasket sealer.

Very much appreciate your concern👍 I sent biggerhammer a message. But if it doesn’t work out, it won’t keep me up at night. I’m just at 90% satisfied now, from 100%!! 🤪

Dang it- now I go back and look at the pics, and the untapered barrel bugs me

Thanks for the kudos Yeah, it’s not perfect but I’m pretty sure if I drove around town (in southern Kalifornia) with it mounted, I’d be on the pavement in handcuffs in short order. One of my mil truck club buddies is a combat Marine and he’s all excited about it, and wants one.

Thank you, sir!

Sorry I only saw “were”, not where. Where, was I met a guy at a parade who had one he wasn’t going to use. We made a trade agreement.

PROJECT COMPLETE I was really satisfied with how this all turned out (unusual for me). Thanks for your patience reviewing this. I hope at least some of it was useful!

I measured the outside dimensions of the various assemblies, then estimated the size box I would need. This is what I ended up with. The reason it's not 48" wide, is because I can make the lid from the standard 48" width sheet steel without a large remnant. The lid had 3/8" lips on three...

Parkerizing: This took 14 gallons of distilled water and half gallon of solution. It took me 3 hours to get the water from 75 F to 200 F because I used the wrong frickin heating equipment. A propane or natural gas burner would have been more appropriate. The assembly was bead- blasted to "white...

I now needed a replica gun. Do I want the real thing? Hell yes. IF I could get permission to own a working .50 cal machine gun in California, they are still about $15,000. Each. An M60 would have been appropriate for this era vehicle. I chose an M2 Browning. The kit I purchased for less...

I met a guy at a parade who had one he wasn’t going to use; we made a trade.

This was after the Parkerizing process The assembly was bead-blasted to "white" metal finish beforehand. The compound I used: NOTE: I am NOT advertising for, promoting, nor giving a review for this specific product. I am only stating that this is what i used. The stainless tank required...

So, when I'm done, I will have to add a "blaze" orange cap to show police that it's a dummy.

I finished the assembly today. Next is parkerizing, including sandblasting. The barrel is designed to be removed for easier storage. I wrapped each end of it inside the support tube, with aluminum can, to keep the support tube centered while it is welded to the body. Finished with the...
