There are plenty of M939 series trucks in private hands and I have it under good authority that they will be back. Lucky for me my buddy is selling me his wrecker .
Bad news guys. I have to abort the gun truck build. My company A&H Recon. Shop is so busy that I am forced to sell my M923 to buy a M936 wrecker. I use the wrecker everyday and can't afford to be with out it, so I will probable sell off most of my Gun truck parts. I may keep the LWS, but the...
I was going to use my green M923 but I sold that to some friends and bought a really nice sand colored M923. I am meeting with a group that is pledging to help raise money for the Armor in a few weeks. I hope to have more progress soon.
Thanks for the offer Adam. I hope all is going well at home . I am a skilled in metal Fabrication. I spent 10years designing , building and installing architectural metalwork. You are welcome to come see the new shop at any time .
Sorry, for the delay guys. I have been busy working on customers trucks. So I finally got a chance to start my Marine Corp, Afghanistan/Iraq Gun truck build. I have been busy getting the key parts gathered. I have a Sand M923 truck for the (base) vehicle, LWS gunners ring complete, Mk 64 cradle...
wscougarx, I like the secondary weapon mount on the LWS. I bought a MK 64 cradle to mount a MK 19 grenade launcher on my LWS gunner ring. Since my tribute Gun Truck with be a Marine corp. truck. I would like to mount a M60 on a secondary mount off the LWS. I am looking for a secondary weapon...

Secondary gun mount for my gun ring. I will put the Mk-19 on the gun ring and a M 60 in the secondary mount. I also am looking for a...

fourth, I have purchased a Mk-19 cradle for the gun ring and...
UPDATE! I just received my 2 mounts and 2 BMG cradles. General Mcgregor finished the drawing of what I have planned for my GT build. I am now looking for a dropside 5 ton bed to build my Gun box on. Anyone in the New England area that can help?
Driver I would like to see those pictures. I will put the vic in my truck, I am just not sure if I want to give up my bench seat. Anyone have pictures of how they would be set up. Are there any special brackets?
Great info. Thanks! It is funny, I just ran into a guy today who worked on and built Gun trucks in Iraq. He told me the same thing! He is going to work with me on the build.
I just picked up a VIC system. I don't know much about these systems, but this is what i know. I purchased a main Box, two selector boxes, two loudspeakers, two headsets and a Antenna. Were these systems used in Iraq Gun Trucks like they were in Vietnam?
It seems that Derickl112 let one of my...
The Bismarck units look good but they are a little pricey. I can build one for that price. I have been presented with some more affordable units. Thanks for the info.
Maddawg I have found the same thing. Some was hacked together and some was well done like the Vietnam era Gun Trucks. I don't want this truck to be confused with a "Mad Max" truck. I am building this to respect our troops and don't want people confusing the two. Maybe the armor I have found was...
Sorry VTdeucedriver, I didn't sneak the mounts from under you. I just found them first!:grin: Do you know a place to get .50 cal replicas for a fair price?
Thanks DR! Most of this project is metalwork and should be fairly easy. The hard part is going to be locating two .50 cal replicas or two de-milled .50 cals.
Sorry, Danger Ranger the sketch is still in the works. Mcgreggor has been busy with his surplus business. Thanks for the spell check. "duh"! I am not sure what you mean by twice. I posted some of this info in the paint and body work area. But I wanted to start a thread on the build. I have some...
