Does anyone have some pictures of the m66 legs bolted to their locations and to the gun ring ? I just picked up a gun ring with three legs and a reinforcement plate for the cab but would like to see some detailed pictures of the setup to make sure I install it properly. Any help is much appreciated

That pig is HEAVY! The M49 is a better choice, just my opinion, been there, done that. Used it too!

I looked Through the tm but didn’t find anything about how to s cure it to the truck . It did have a lot of useful information though about the m66 itself . I’ll be reading some more when I get off work this evening
thanks for the advice

That isn't a good NSN

From parttarget ; National Item Identification Number (NIIN) is a nine position numeric string. National Stock Number (NSN) is either a sixteen position numeric string with dashes or a thirteen position numeric string.

I’ll double check it . I probably copied the wrong number .
I think I found the plates I need on eastern surplus though

Another TM you could look at is TM 9-1005-245-14 dated 1973; it's in the TM section of this site. It has more detail for the vehicle rings than the -13&P.

Can someone PLEASE post the dimensions for the legs? OD, wall thickness, length. Arms too. Sketches. I'd really like to get this done by the end of April.

THANKS
