Thanks Al, I'll post more pics once I get the main mount in to complete this project.

AM-7238 and AM-7239E OK, what's all the fabrication all about anyways? What kind of radio you putting in your truck? The simple answer....SINCGARS. At least someday I will. In the meantime, I will get everything ready. At this time I have an AM-7238 and AM-7239E. I have the MT-6352 en route...

Radio Tray Support Mount (cont) Second phase included mounting the actual radio tray to the top of the dash and marrying the horizontal support bracket together. The first part of this process included sitting in the driver seat and eyeballing the location of the radio tray. My goal was to keep...

Radio Tray Support Mount The first phase of the radio tray support mount was procuring some parts to make it possible. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I opted to go with the USGI parts that were designed for the M939 series 5 tons. Though these parts were designed for this truck, I tweeked the...

Haha Scott, to be honest with you, I was surprised I had a nice uninterrupted 6 hours of time to do something today. Rain or shine I was determined to get out there to get that cable replaced. As my luck had it, I was laying in a nice mud puddle underneath my truck. Man, I'm not sure where time...

Winch Control Cable Replacement- Wind-Neutral-Unwind A couple days I manage to work the old cable loose. Just like everything on this stinkin' truck, it's a test of patience! The old cable was seized. It was like that since day one but I never really had any motivation to get her fixed until...

Upcoming Projects and Ideas Well, as the weather would have it, things have been slowing down around our household. During this downtime, I can't help but think up projects for my truck. So, I have been pondering up some projects for this once completed truck;-). So here is a list of for sure...

Forgot to attach my video to this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqSbdD7q_Xs I'll shoot another video in a couple months with the tarp off the truck and everything in place. This was just a spare of the moment "Oh yah, I forgot to make a video" video.

Goodbye Kayla, I will miss you ole girl Well, amid this project, I had a really hard day today. I had to put our pooch of 14.5 years down today. This was truly one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. It's amazing how you can get so attached to a four legged creature. I guess after...

Thanks John! This truck was certainly a labor of love. I'm running out of projects for this truck.

I know of place where you can mount it Scott...right on top of my guntruck;-) Is it a resin or metal one?

Classic Army M15A4 Carbine w/M203 Airsoft Review (Cont) Here are a couple more pics. The second pic show the other LWS airsofts being used. At the top is an ECHO1 M240B w/USGI M240B pintle mount, the middle is a Classic Army M249 rail model, and at the bottom is the Classic Army M15A4 Carbine...

Classic Army M15A4 Carbine w/M203 Airsoft Review This review goes out to all those who want a realistic M4 type carbine and/or a realistic M203 grenade launcher. Last year I secured a Well gas blow back M4 Airsoft. It was pretty flimsy and I was a bit taken back by the lack of quality in that...

LWS Ammo Can Secondary Storage Ideas Just putting this idea down so I can view it in the future. I located these pics of an LWS ammo can storage rack. May need to do something like this down the road when I run out of things to do.

M240B (7.62mm) Ammo Can Storage Rack As I stood out on the street and looked at my "completed" gun truck, I realized she wasn't as complete as I thought. The main weapon on this platform is the 7.62x51mm M240B. As I looked at her, the LWS has provisions for the .50 Cal ammo cans. But lacks the...

Counter IED Antenna Project Well, I've searched high and low for an actual CIED antenna and found this broadband military one that looks similar. A couple months ago, I actually found the "correct" CEID antenna but it was $600. My pockets aren't exactly deep enough to buy something like that so...

Air Dryer Dessicant Filter Replacement Decided to replace the dessicant filter and it's associated maintenance parts on the truck. Since this truck was a unit truck that was never rebuilt/refurbished, there was no indication of when the last maintenance service was done. Not wanting to mess...

I would go 3/4-1 inch. My plate still nicks the LWS crossbar when I swing port side.

Been away from this project for a bit. Actually, I've been away from my MV's for a bit. Pretty much lost ALL interest in the MV's since August. Been having other "projects" coming up and found myself selling off all my extra parts to fund them. Now that these "projects" have been funded, I have...

MOLLE Rack Haven't done a whole lot with this truck for months. Kind of got out of the hobby and now just doing a couple little things here and there. I had these steel bars ready to mount since June 2013. They've been sitting and sitting. Well, after kicking them around the garage I finally...
