1st, I wish I had that advice before I found out how hard a hardtop is :???: 2nd, Don't go out and buy the manuals, they are under the resources tab. For free. Seeing pics like this, makes me wish I had more money to work on mine. Good luck getting yours done.

Good points, never thought of that.

I have a friend who was on vacation in FL. On the 21st, when her family had left to come home, they stopped for a red light and got rear ended. Their insurance company got them a car to get back home, but now she is trying to find a way to get it back home. Luckily only the vehicle suffered the...

Good to hear, can't wait sounds tasty. Wife thinks so as well.

Looks real good, I was going to put my vote in for white as well. Any word back from the DMV yet?

Build it high enough, and make it fold up. It should not interfere with anything, unless doing some rough offroading. Thinking something like this........

Another Idea..... Why not make a porch off the back of the truck, that you can mount the spare tire winch to. And have the whole porch crank into place. You still carry the spare tire, you have a porch to sit on.....

I am pretty much speechless. I love it.

All the MP deuces I ever saw was just a regular truck. At most had he yellow convoy lights. As for Bumper markings. the 28th ID (in PA) it was 28 228P (I think if I remeber correctly it was 228th MP)

Thanks for the nod. You are looking for TB 43-0209. Gives you all the views, and info for stencils.

That stinks. I just got a Playstation again, and was playing it the other day. For some reason I keep driving the FMTV's into the water. Not the world's best game but I like it.

Check out the game mercenaries2. They have a cargo and a gun truck version. The gun truck version has 2 gun rings mounted in the bed.

I say go take a look at it, get a LOT of pics and post them here. Let us go over them and the members here can give you a good asking price. tell you what they see is wrong, what is good. You can find a great truck for cheaper and not have to drive it very far and save money.

Good work, cant wait to see it.

A garage would be nice to have to build it but we don' t have the room inside the garage. so it is being done outside. For now... It doesn't look like they used much material to rebuild yours. And this wont be firing, except possibly to make in into a spud gun :grin::grin:

UPDATE: Today I spent some time at my dads. We learned a lot about this rifle, took a bunch of parts off, did some grinding to smooth out the threads a bit, got the bolt for the spotter rifle to slide in the receiver. Cleaned a bunch of grease off of it, some dirt. Still has the parkerization...

If you can find a sight box off of one, I would appreciate it. Wonder if customs inspector would have an issue with that? Guess I might have to find one.

I will make sure I have it up on my shoulder like how you shoot the 57mm version. :grin:

Frank, Do you remember off hand how long it took to get back together? I talked with my dad earlier and he got the bolt for the spotter rifle to slide, clean a bit of the slag off from the torch. I am going over tomorrow and try and figure out how to take everything apart. Since I don't have...

No, just a big dummy gun. Would not want to see the cost to feed it if it was live.
