I can't find it. Have zero recollection of seeing one in the trucks. Was there a standard location for the placement of the rifle rack? TM & page # .. Or was there never one in the m880 series. Picture would work too. Thanks JP. Carnac , you still have me on the antenna list. šŸ˜

I honestly don't recall seeing the mounts or markings for it. I've been debating doing it in the cab corner behind the seat, but haven't pursued it. I'm also doing a minor mod to mount the Pioneer Rack like the Marines did on the rear of the cab.

The answers , I thank you for. I'll keep looking. Mystery continues. I can't imagine, but don't remember just laying my rifle on the floor or proper up against the seat. But maybe. Most of my time was in a m113. JP

Got any pics of the pioneer rack mounted on the back if the cab?

Bikeman, is there enough room to reach over the seat and fiddle with the straps holding the tools being as how the seat does not fold forward in the Dodges?

They loosened the two bolts that held the seat back so it would fold forward, my M885 came like that.

I had a though along those lines for rifle rack behind seat. As said the bench seat is fixed. When I re covered my seat I thought of just installing one bolt and drill and pin the other. For the foldability , the pin should be a perfect fit to keep seat back stable I'm thinking. Rifle rack in corners. Tool rack in center.maybe what's next.JP

My seat leans forward. So, plenty of room. The entire bench is also on a forward/back slider controlled by a lever under the driver. So, even if yours doesn't flip forward, it should slide forward enough to get access. But, I'd just make sure that the whole thing leans.
