I have plans to build a semi-custom "box" guntruck, but I face a new problem. Where can I get proper aftermarket machine guns and radios to equip the bed? Please tell me where I can get them.

Academy has a .50 cal and .30 cal MG set that is great. It would have the normal MGs you need. It has the best MGs in plastic too.

For M134 Miniguns, Legends makes a resin set. Also, there are some in the Academy UH-1Cs that you could convert to a vehicle mount.
For the radios, many kits come with O.K. Vietnam era radios. The best are probably in the newer Academy M151 kits. Verlinden also make s a set of Vietnam radios.
Also, Legend and Hobby Fan both do guntruck conversions for the AFV Club M35A2 kit. They are a little pricey, but would have all you need.
