I agree with Augdog, the T-34/85 drivers position is much more cramped than our Type 69 (Chinese T54). Decent T34's are a 100k and remember parts and pieces have to come from Eastern Europe, and each load of parts comes with inevitable ATF paperwork. You really want a T-34/85 then convince Aug...
Have you thought about going the State route and seeing if there are any vehicles available from the Guard in you area? Everything I have heard is it is so much easier than Feds
Checking the DB Engineering website they appear to be the OEM manufacturer of the soundproof insulation that came on the hmmwv. Looks just like the pieces everyone buys off ebay for ridiculous prices

Never say never...almost every vehicle that "never" will be surplussed have a few slip out....keep an eye on Milweb...that is where they will show up if they do
Mine was gone when I bought mine, I have since added a slantback setup and supplemental armor doors. The bearing support and associated tubes tie everything together solid so don't worry about needing it if you end up going hardtop or armor route...I was able to move the drivers seat back about...
Alas the venerable M series GMC has never reflected its large following with a commensurate increase in value. Which is a shame because they are incredible vehicles with an almost cult status among fans. I am lucky enough to have 5 of the beasts and would find it difficult to part with them for...

Yes sir I do have a tank in my yard, several in fact. I do not begrudge the police anywhere their safety. I apologize, wasn't trying to belittle your hometown or it's police force.
If someone willing to spend that kind of money can't tell that mess from a real M10 I think they deserve what they get. I think any pre- purchase vetting would begin with the serial number to verify it is in fact a genuine M10....of course this vehicle doesn't have one. So that should end any...
Retired War Horse and Action can you elaborate on what us needed to convert a hmmwv to the Ibistek windshields like the one for sale at Eastern Surplus. This is something I am seriously considering so any info would be appreciated
You would have to completely butcher the M5 to put in the cummins or anything other than a v8. No cummins 6 is going to fit under the bulkhead between the fighting compartment and engine bay. Willie has done a great job using a power plant that fits. And believe me it will have no problem moving...
