Parts 13 and 22 are not wedges, they are a spacer. There are flat on top and bottom, there is no wedge profile. Part 13 has a hole in the center that engages with a pin on the bottom of the leaf spring. The raised surfaces of parts, 13 and 22 engage with the axle to prevent it from shifting...

In the first attachment, the drawing from the – 24P parts manual, that is the left front spring, with the left side of the drawing being in the front of the vehicle. As a further reference, he retaining nut for the Lower end of the shock absorber faces the rear of the vehicle.

And here is another V-100 with a fording shroud that is at a museum in New Jersey. Same holes for the exhaust system. The large cylinder on the back of the vehicle was for a fire extinguisher/suppression system, from its days as a police riot vehicle. Both of these vehicles (mine and the one...

One of my V100s has the fording shroud and the other does not. Either way, the grate over the exhaust bay is the same for both vehicles. Here’s pics of the one with the fording shroud. Ignore the lights, those I installed because I drive my vehicle on the street and they’re required. No idea...

Are you going to install the spring loaded fold down jump seats by the side doors? I think those were an E2-only option. Really wish they had those on all of the V100s, they’re very handy for facilitating easy entry/exit via the side door.

Very impressive level of detail. Is this an E2 version of the V-100? I’m assuming yes, based on the square opening in the roof. If you’re going to put a turret on it, no one‘s going to get to see all that great detail!

I forgot to add, just make sure anything with the SF 97 is 25 years old or you won’t get an antique plate or a historic military vehicle registration. You may be able to register it as a classic if it’s at least 20 years old. I think that’s where a lot of guys with HMMWV’s are going to have a...

At the time I got my historic military plate, the paperwork made it seem like you could get the mil plate for the same price as the antique plate. So I filled out the paperwork for the mil pkate and got bogged down in PennDOT because the computer system was saying they needed an antique...

I know this is an older post, but let me share my experience with the PA military vehicle plate. First of all you have to have a 25-year-old vehicle. If it isn’t already registered as an antique (at least 25 years old) in Pennsylvania, you have to simultaneously register it as an antique and...

The floor of the engine department is flat. The axle has a tunnel in the floor that it runs through. She attached pictures.

Hi Pawel, I added a post to this thread showing some hull shots. Yes the tunnel is at an angle to the hull. Please note that the tunnel is a sheet metal construction to shield the driveshaft to the front axle, and is not visible from the exterior underside of the vehicle. From underneath on...

From the Green Room (the archives of the late Jim Green's estate), here are some hull photos of Jim's V-100 during restoration. Note that the hull in the rear axle area was modified to accept an air locker axle. You can see in the first photo of the engine compartment (before sandblasting)...

Hi George, the side of the hull is .250 inch. Floor of the hull is .375 inch Somewhere in the V-100 forum here on Steelsoldiers, there is a digitized version of the Cadillac Gage parts manual. It was in a thread somewhere, you’ll have to do a search for it. The factory part number for the parts...

This is a video done of my V – 100 by John at East Coast Armory. He did a 1:6 scale V-100 vehicle. If you go to his Facebook page, he has about 400 photographs there that he took of my vehicle. He also has done the same thing for an E2 (open-top Air Force version of the V – 100). below are some...

Sounds like you do it up right. I limit people getting inside to avoid liability and limit wear and tear on the vehicles, I’m the entire cleaning crew and getting all the greasy handprints off the outside is not fun. I’m just not into running it like an amusement park ride, loading/unloading...

Tool storage box.

Nice tires, six of them, NOS. Helping clean out the estate of the late Jim Green. I think Jim was going to use these for a "super-single" project, but they'd be great for a V-100 as well. Need to take all 6, so I've priced them accordingly. If you find a better price on NOS Mohawk run-flats...

Well I’m pending approval for being able to bring two V-100’s to the 50th anniversary commemoration of the end of the Vietnam war, to be held on the lawn on the National Mall in DC on May 11-13. Will have to bring friends with me to help me pull night guard duty for the vehicles. Normally I’d...

Sorry to veer off-topic, but can someone direct me to a definitive guide to M34 axlees? My V-100 armored car apparently uses M34 axles (19-spline axle shafts and Detroit lockers front and rear). I'm trying to find out if the V axles were standard M34 axles or if they were heavily-modified...

A local merchant 20 mins from my house has one out front. Every time I take my V-100 out around here, someone will inevitably tell me there is one just like mine on Rt. 309! All armored cars look alike I guess. The owner is a great guy, has done sand blasting jobs for me and does nice work...
