Ive posted some more pics. The project was not that difficult so much as pulling together all the resources to get it done. Had to nail down a welder for 3 days, couple guys to hold the steel while he tacked everything in place. literally ran down a back hoe driving past on way to a construction site. gave him $50.00 for 20 minutes of his time to lift the ring in place.
Had 3 guys passing bolts as we found the correct hole position (ring to support arms). On and on. We did 95% of all the work in 4 days with a crew of 4. It was blast seeing it come together all so fast.

I thought it translated to: " If you can read this you are too close!"

According to a Vietnamese customer who frequents my shop the translation reads: Do Not stand Behind Truck When Backing. He said the meaning can change according to different punctuation and inflection used in the phrase.

I had it translated also and somewhere I have it to what each word says.
This phrase was located on many locations on the truck. Doors, side of cargo boxes, gun boxes and tail gates. This phrase was not just gun truck specific.
the reason for this was that drivers and GT crews would get very suspicious of ANYONE PACING a truck at the same speed for the thought of a gernade being tossed into a load.

Pacing a vehicle could be very unhealthy, it could lead to incurable case of lead poisoning.

Here a couple pics of some stuff done to the truck today. Ammo cans are now at a premium so not using best cans to be walked on. My intention is to create a battle harden likeness in this vehicle so dirty cans would be appropriate anyway. More pics coming.
