does anyone know how many replica gun trucks there are out there? It would be cool if someone could build a gun truck that is one of the ones with a M113 APC body in the back end of a 5-tonner.

Where in FL is the Black Widow? I'd love to see all these gun trucks assembled in one place.

Can anyone post a close up picture or explain how they attach the metal plates to the doors and windhsheilds. Is it welded or just bolted. Can the door hinges support the extrea weight. I would love to build a guntruck and just want to do it historically correct.

The 3' x 4' plates were welded in the box and on the driver and passenger door. The windshield armor was hinged and folded down. Here is a picture of the Uncle Meat gun box being taken off of a destroyed truck, and being prepared for a new truck.
The Ace of Spades, replica gun truck in Rogersville, TN, has a welded rear box and aluminum door armor, using bolts on the hinges, and another on a centered horse-shoe shaped mount below the door handle.
