there was shrapnel still embedded in the body in the transmission pan and in bent lower floor armor and tires.when i was working for contractors i had to fix ied damage several times its an ied probly a heat sensitive one
they took the side armor doors top and windshields tailgate radios dog house ac units pass side dash and both drive shafts 3 calipers 1 rotor head lights and evry light cover seats seatbelt retractors mirrors the engine but left all the front interior armor the firewall armor yet disassembled...
the ied took out the engine & transmission pan bent the floor/toe armor on pass side and destroyed both front tires bullet strikes penetrated driver armor and driver rear quarter
truck is a 2011 m1114 that struck an ied and took out the motor probably around 2015 or so is what i have gleemed from the fact that the body/ frame and parts looks brand new before it was parted out.it was only painted once since new and had 3 original tires 50% or better tread and 1 80%...
i got it figured out it was the gunner armor plate for some reason they completely disassembled the gunner position but all that was missing was a bracket from the gunner platform
Do any of you know what this plate that came with my m1114 is ment to go it seems to have a ammo can rack and a seatbelt attached to it or what the weird box on the windshieldis? if any one has photo of the plate installed so i know what i am missing. thaks
Has anyone ever seen hood numbers that start 03G bought from the army in the late 80s-early90s they didn't bother to cover the markings since the motor was seized front end damaged missing front bumper and the windshield shot out by a mg on one side
from my understanding it should be
38th Infantry Div 146th something mabye medic? and convoy truck 8
i was told the reason it says FSB on both rear bumperettes and side of hood just refer to its air brakes but dosent make sense to me as i always understood FSB as Forward Support Battalion
