Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

[bbbang]

I repainted my truck a few weeks ago and removed the soft top. I then finally got a hard top I had purchased and then modified put on my truck. It was a little difficult with the M66 mount, but I had lots of help. I also added a MK16 mount in bed to go along with the ring mount. Not very politically correct but fun. Enjoy the pictures. Chris

I'm kinda partial to that color tan! Nice place to store that deuce as well. looking forward to the final pics with the guns mounted.....

On this truck I will have a M2hb on a MK64 cradle mount on the m66 ring, and an M60 with mount on the MK16 in he back. I will post pictures with the guns on the truck, in the near future. Here is the picture of my 50 caliber. Chris

Nice looking truck. Quick question, what is the front and back spacing on those rims? I want to space mine out the same. Thanks

Absolutly beautiful

Looks great! Did you modify the hard top with the hole or did it come that way?

 

[bbbang]

I modified the hard top with the custom hatch opening. I am toying with ideas for the hatch cover, (canvas, fiberglass, steel, etc.) I will need to get it figured out and fabricated before winter Chris

 

[Castle Bravo]

Do you have any additional photos of the opening? I am looking to do this to a hard top in the near future.

I think that'll keep the tailgaiters off your rear! Nice job!

Here are some more photos of the hatch I built in the hard top. It was quite a job, the top is thin and hard to weld on without burning it up, I also had to rebrace the top after I cut the hole, but I am very pleased with this build. I also included a photo of my M64 cradle for the M2hb I haven't painted it sand yet but it is on the list of things to do. Chris

Thanks for the photos.

cool very cool dude .. you going to drive around with you gun mounted? lol

 

[bbbang]

It should be a blast to shoot off the two mounts on the M35.

M2hb and M60's mounted on the truck and on the public road in Missouri is definately a crime, and would be a really bad idea, unless you want to stay at the "county hotel".

I will just keep everything legal and stick to private property for truck driving and M.G. shooting. I will try to video some target shooting from this truck at my farm and post it on the site at some point in the near future. It should be a whole lot of fun. Chris

just for your information, on 7 tons the turret cover is a round steel piece that has tabs that swing around and hold it down to the roof. that seems like it might work pretty good to cover that hole up.

great lookin truck

the adapter plate that bolt the ammo can holders to the leg are they the original plate or home made? I used some angle iron and spacers to mount my can holders to the legs.
