I have Bronco jeep with the 37MM, and the Skybow Dodge, both waiting for an excuse to be used...
I figure they are destined to become a Dodge WC55...the jeep is going to be part of the 6th AD (http://www.bison-decals.com/35190.html) Wondefull decalset by the way, finally something that allows a group of verhicles to be of the same unit on one sheet (and he's got two more;-)
I can find lots of pictures of the Dodge, but none really show the pedestal the gun sits on, and the floor lay-out... Anybody know where I can find those?
Any suggestions for a North African US crew would be good too...
Thanks,
Harald

I guess this should help (provided the restoration is accurate of course, but it sure looks impressive ) :

More pics here (same restored M6 I guess...) :

The drawings Stephane has given the link to come from a replica parts seller. The mount is slightly different (simplified ?) :

On a side note, the M6 variant had no spare wheel and it was fitted with directional, "run flat" tires.
