It is FRP. Fiberglass reinforced plywood.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That is a super cool body and I look forward to seeing more of it. The 101/116 chassis makes the wheels really start turninig.That would also look awesome on a M101.
Wow. Never heard of a frame machine before, much less seen one:Awhile back I posted that I had a bent ft end on my 1028. Seems the truck got hit in the rt ft at one time and did not get repaired correct. I set it up on my frame machine and found the rt ft rail down and back about an inch. Long story short the frame is fine now but the ft end still has a slight bend back. Just short of 1/2 inch. I'm fine with that for an old chevy truck.Now I can keep going on my orig. plan. Next is to cleanup up the rear of the frame and get the frame painted.

Yes SteveUK, that is a standard GM item.Is the bulb holder for the front side marker light a standard Chevy/GM item. Mine has become brittle and is about to disintegrate.
Thanks.
I like the prairie rattler, or at least I think that's what she is (killer camouflage).I was able to use my winch for the first time yesterday. I got a call from a friend from work that his buddy got stuck north of town out in the middle of nowhere. So, we brought the ol' trusty CUCV and was able to winch him out with no problem. Poor guy had to walk 8 miles in the high desert to where we could meet him.
Saw this little guy slithering around

The ground was pretty dry behind his truck. That alkali can be deceiving. It can look dry on top but still be wet underneath.I like the prairie rattler, or at least I think that's what she is (killer camouflage).
There are no tracks leading to the spot where he hung up. It's like he broke through a crust or something.
How did he get stuck like that!?

ANY kind of risky adventuring warrants a buddy, you know?First Rule of 4 wheelin in an environment like that: NEVER GO OUT ALONE.
