That's what I thought as well, but talking with Larry (known here as driver523), who served on the M37 gun truck Malfunction, he said that spare belts for the guns were kept in bins mounted on the side walls of the armor. Being that this was a smaller truck, if ammo cans were kept all over the floor, you'd have to kneel to get any protection from the side armor. I'm sure some ammo cans were kept on board, but I agree that I don't think the floor was lined with them.
It's like Christmas on this end, all the parts are showing up in quantity now. I have plenty to do, and the parts are starting to find their way onto the beast. Spent yesterday bolting the front half of the exhaust pipes up, hooking up the front lights, and lots of other little things. Tomorrow the grinder has to come out and take care of some bubbafications that are ticking me off.
Also got - new cab top and new seat covers. The armor is being cut right now, and I have to pick it up on Tuesday after the holiday weekend. I should be ready to install it by then.
In the meantime, a couple pics of the bolting on of parts - front showing the new turn signals, rear showing the new taillight mounts (previous owner cut them off).
