This may be something you'll have to fab up yourself, unless you can possibly modify a jump seat from a junkyard Nissan or Toyota. Come to think of it, a lot of the APCs have folding jump seats for the passengers. You might look into finding someone with a set of jump seats like that. Try...
RE: My Duece
Wow, Scott that looks great! Is that the same truck that went to RC last October? If so, doesn't even look like the same truck, which is a good thing!
Hope mine looks that good after I install the winch and repaint it....
RE: Need some track
Railroad track or tank track? Tank track, check the usual suspects that deal in MV surplus and scrap metal. Railroad track, call your local railroad office up, explain what you are looking for, and they may be able to hook you up with a length of used-up track for...

If I can ever save up the cash for them, I plan to replace all the 9.00x20s on my rig to 11.00x20s, mainly to get a little more speed outta the deuce on the long drives to rallies. I figure upgrading will get me another 5-6 mph, plus since the tires will be covering more distance per revolution...
I wondered if someone from this site was going to end up with that GSA armored car. Pretty cool! Are you going to keep it as is, or are you going to paint it up as a quasi-military vehicle with a camo paint job?
WOW, looks like Alfa restored that M123, I've been looking for the pics of them restoring it, and they never updated their site. I figured it never happened. Glad I was wrong.
