I replaced the OEM extinguishers in my V-100 with new Halotron ones. I'm not betting my vehicle on a 1960's fire extinguisher, no matter what the gauge on it says.....
I laughed (in sympathy) when I read of your scars from banging into various parts f the V-100 interior. My nemesis is the rear dome light, especially it's control switch. I inadvertently lifted my head after installing the transfer case cover and crowned myself on that switch so hard I thought...
I use wheel chocks (always) in case someone does get in and releases the brake/shifts into neutral. I put a "Danger do not touch" sign by the 24V battery compartment. Put do not touch signs on all 4 sides of vehicle. The goal here is to court-proof yourself. If someone does do something...

BMGParts out of NV had some when I called there earlier in 2022. That’s .30 cal chute that they had, not 7.62 chute. Get your wallet handy, I’m guessing it’s $100 a foot
Hi all- over in the V-100 forum, we were debating the origin of some vision blocks I bought off eBay a few years back. They are definitely not V-100 blocks, but may be for an APC or some other armored vehicle. Can you armor glass experts please take a look at the thread and let me know your...
Be aware that many of these Peacekeepers are still part of the 1033 property program. Indeed, a LE agency can still request a Peacekeeper via the 1033 program to this very day.

FYI, I'm helping the estate of the late Jim Green sell off parts from his collection. I put up ads for a beautiful set of V-100 replica wheels that he fabricated from 5-ton wheels, as well as the Braden winch he used in his V-100 until this past spring, when he got a date-correct replacement...
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but can you let me know if your M34 has Detroit lockers and 19-spline axle shafts? I own a V-100 armored car and it uses what are reputed to be M34 axles. Dimensionally (externally) identical to an M35-series axles, but has heavier 19-spline (instead of M35...
This was a very interesting post, as I struggled mightily to get a HMV plate in 2Q 2021, see: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/pennsylvania-to-get-hmv-plates.182966/post-2362520
I would gladly drive to Harrisburg to get it done in person. Can you let me know where exactly you went to...
Reviving an old thread to keep my fellow PA MV enthusiasts updated on my learnings, shared below:
There is no 10,000 lb. limit for an antique registration. My armored car is 16,000 lbs and has a PA Historic Military Vehicle (HMV) registration, which is a subcategory of an Antique...
I have a V-100 19-spline locker with one broken side gear (stamped with P/N 64640) and two broken stamped steel toothed side washers (that hold the outboard sides of the springs captive). If you have a box of broken Locker parts sitting around, please let me know. I'd do some horse trading to...
I'll add one more factor to the consideration list: whatever vehicle you are interested in, I STRONGLY advise you to try and drive that particular style of vehicle LONG BEFORE you decide to buy. Try to find a friend or acquaintance who has the vehicle you are interested in, and go sit in it at...
