Man i really would like to have a gun truck...........okay i'm kidding.....not....i want them all........

 

[maddawg308]

does anyone know how many replica gun trucks there are out there? It would be cool if someone could build a gun truck that is one of the ones with a M113 APC body in the back end of a 5-tonner.

Where in FL is the Black Widow? I'd love to see all these gun trucks assembled in one place.

Logan Werth in Mt Morris, Michigan finished Uncle Meat and is showing it locally. He was a crew member on the truck in Vietnam, and helped to rebuild it over there when it went over a land mine.

Can anyone post a close up picture or explain how they attach the metal plates to the doors and windhsheilds. Is it welded or just bolted. Can the door hinges support the extrea weight. I would love to build a guntruck and just want to do it historically correct.

 

[Uglyranger]

The 3' x 4' plates were welded in the box and on the driver and passenger door. The windshield armor was hinged and folded down. Here is a picture of the Uncle Meat gun box being taken off of a destroyed truck, and being prepared for a new truck.
The Ace of Spades, replica gun truck in Rogersville, TN, has a welded rear box and aluminum door armor, using bolts on the hinges, and another on a centered horse-shoe shaped mount below the door handle.
