Cleaning out some old files and figured I'd add these photos of my tank restoration. One down, one to go. I used the JimK method as outlined above. You could not pay me to do this on someone else's vehicle. Ok you could, but I'd want $5,000. It was that nasty. Try to find a friend with...

EDITED TO ADD: Visible glass area (excluding the frame) as measured mid-top side to mid-bottom side, is 4" on the outside glass surface and 3.25" on the inside glass surface Ok, sorry for the delay, here are the vision block photos and measurements. As you know, the blocks are two...

FYI, McMaster car has the correct diameter bearings for the V-100 turret. The bearings they have are the larger load bearing ones, not the smaller spacer ones. PM me if you need the part number and I'll dig it out of my files

I'll get the measurements tomorrow, have been sick for the past three days. That's what I get for visiting family over the Christmas holiday.....

I obtained about a half-dozen vision blocks (used, fair condition) from an eBay auction a few years ago, they came from a police department. They look dimensionally (length/width/height) the same as a V-100 block, but are only about 2" thick instead of the normal 3" for a V-100 block. I had...

I think there has been a lot of good advice given here regarding trying to procure a V-100. As was pointed out, there are about 20-25 privately owned and probably 50-60 in museums. Vehicles in the military's possession (e.g. static displays at military bases) are never coming out of their...

Mike- If you do a search on Facebook for " Power train removal from a spare V-100 Commando armored car", you'll see Jim and the Stolly in action, removing the powertrain from my V-100 parts vehicle. Cheers, Scott

With the passage of some time, I can add my post to this thread. I met Jim in 1984, when I was painting a trucking terminal building as a summer job before college, and Jim was one of the drivers there. He had a 1970 GTO with only a driver's seat in it (Jim was working on the power train and...

Resurrecting this thread, because I need the same cable (CX-10613/G) for the suppressor in my V-100 armored car. Any suggestions for sources?

When I got my vehicle, the return spring connecting the clutch fork to the clutch slave cylinder mounting bolt was broken. Hard to replace with the engine and radiator installed. I saw this set-up (see pic) on another V-100 that had not been touched since it left the Army and it's what I...

Old topic, but I was reading it yesterday before I sealed my fuel tank. Slightly less objectionable than cleaning it. Slightly. You can get a 180-degree u attachment for a pressure washer. Stihl makes it, for cleaning gutters from the ground. I put that on my pressure washer and was able...

Hi Shawn, Same thing happened to me when I titled my M706 here in PA this year. Prior owner was a MD resident and he transferred it to me on a clean MD title from 2013. Vehicle has a 5-digit serial number (not a VIN) and had multiple hits in NMVTIS. Apparently PennDOT didn't care, they were...

Hi Jason, Did you ever get any interest in this? I'm interested in finding an original boot, but otherwise a repro will work. I've seen some repro ones that looked almost vinyl-like, like what you'd see on a boat seat cover or the like. I like the "oilcloth" or "canvas"-style cloth that my...
