The 9th ID Team Spirit Korea deployment photo of the XM1041 TOW FAV performing overwatch of the tank bridge crossing has the best visible detail of the TOW-unique rear cargo bin, but not clear enough:
Was this another former Wackenhut Security/Nevada Test Site Security Car? With the rear wheels mounted on the car, would there be space on each side for a spare centered where each of the receiver mounts were?
And in the movie "(The) Delta Force" were there spare tires or something else...
Do I see a horizontal hole through the center? Somebody used it for some kind of quick release type accessory. There is a similar box hitch type accessory bracket bolt to the rear bumpers of some SF Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWV, used mostly for a spare tire carrier:
There is also an...
I see the 6.5l engine coolant crossover installed.
I would think by 2007 all the pre 1995 GM blocks that had the cooling deficiency issues causing the rear, curbside cylinder to crack, would have been coded out of the system. The only way to tell is the casing markings on the block by the...
From what I was told there was no National Security Exemption for the 6.5l NA engines for the 1995 build year trucks because it wasn't required as a Cat was part of the exhaust system so the above decal indicates the 1995 6.5l NA GEP engine MEETS the EPA emissions for that model year.

Is that AMG Spare Tar Carrier the same as this one on a CTIS equiped SF Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV? The bumper mount looks the same.
And there would be a 2 MFC/MWC Water and/or Fuel Can Carrier on the street side, better pics here since'n you axed:
What's your engine type and year? I have a few for 6.5l NA 1995. I 'll post a pic after I dig them out of my dataplate/vehicle decal box.
This one is mismarked for a 1995 6.2l NA, its just the jpg I happen to currently have on the laptop I'm typing on.

Elaborating on the SF Ground Mobility Vehicle Air Compressor installation, and, 12volt accessories; The GMV had a Square D LBA363206 3 place terminal block bolted to the back wall in the outside compartment under the battery box lid. The 3 places had cables run to the main vehicle ground, to...

The Arming/Firing Unit aluminum foil labels, I worked with Greg at www.dataplates.net to have the specialized, unique labels and identification plates on the SF Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV HMMWVs reproduced on the black coated aluminum plates. He does foil labels, too.
Quick question: the enduser is likely to use progressing grit sandpaper to reduce the print lines, although the original has a rough cast finish on most sides.
Wouldn't the box itself be better when combined with a 2" x 4.5" x 3/16" thick aluminum base plate to take most of the stress? One...
The Arming/Firing Unit I have, the short side screw spacing is 15/16" center to center, the long side is 4 3/16", use #10-32 screws.
One detail, may not be important enough. These housings are sand cast aluminum alloy. They use a "pattern" made of wood, plastic or foam to pack green sand...
