As far as I can determine, they were all painted gloss red. If you look at Untouchables, I believe they may have had the red mounts. Oops, it was Eve of Destruction that had the red mounts.

I sand blasted the areas of rust. Then I used rusty metal primer to cover the bare spots. Then I painted them up with candy apple red over everything.

Getting ready for this year’s events. I’ve been wanting to paint my gun mounts and this year, I’m doing it. I don’t recall which trucks that painted their mounts red but I like the look. Pics:

Made the local news!

This year’s first event for War Wagon is at the Fort DA Russell Days. Kids love this truck!

Thank you. She isn’t done yet. Hopefully this winter I’ll be able to get the inner layer of armor (PSP) installed.

That's one good looking truck! The .50 mounts are a work in progress. Since I open the truck bed for people, mostly kids, I set mine to maximize internal space. As time and money allow, I'll continue modifying them till I get them just right. As for the rear mount, I plan on buying one more...

Found my siren!!! It's a 6 volt, which I'll have to figure out how to power. War Wagon is still 24 volt.

Mounts are installed, all .50's (replicas) in place. Point of order... if you purchase one of these .50's, they will require tweaking to get them to fit. All 3 of mine had to have the rear mount lugs reamed and the external side of the rear lug ground down. The front may need reaming (2 of mine...

Got three new mounts built and bolted down. The pintle adapters are installed but I still need to drill a hole through the pipe and pintle on one of the mounts because there's a hair bit too much movement. Ammo can trays are all installed. Still need to paint the M23 mount and ammo trays. Red I...

Time for some upgrades. Not as much as my ultimate goal but there's room for improvement. I found a source for the U.S. machine gun pedestal mount socket. If you want a secure mount for your gun mounts, this is one way to go. Very well built and fit the mount like a glove. Down side, I need to...

Update At the VAMC, mostly ready for show.

Update Update: almost ready. Painting is almost done, same with the trucks name. Vic 1 installed including positions for 4 gunners/NCOIC. Still missing one power cord. I'm on the lookout for a cable that goes from the battery to the MX 7777.

Vic 1 install in progress. Hooked up the radio so it looks correct. Maybe one of these days I'll find a working radio. No pics today, progress was in the little things. Installing wires, clamps, correct power cables. I'll post tomorrow with pics if I get the painting done. I figured out how...

Update, 9 May Got the final panel (3ft x 4ft) in place and now I'm ready to paint the new armor plates. Sorry no pics tonight. I'll post some tomorrow.

War Wagon update Update. All armor is in place, just need to finalize the access panel. .50's are on their mounts and all radio parts are ready for install. Big job now is painting the new armor. Got to get it done quick, AFD is Saturday.

Cheyenne VAMC, 14 May, 1000 to 1400, hope you can make it. Summer's are way to short around here!

Gun mounts in, going to finish the armor before messing with intercom stuff.

Radio install complete. Next up is Vic 1 and wiring. Radio doesn't work, just a box full of broken parts.

Armed Forces Day event on May 14. Should be fun, lots of people and stuff to do. Would you be interested in bringing your truck?
