Matt i'll look around to see If I have anything that you could use. I remember seeing a really good pic of a Dual 50cal mount on a web site i'll try and hook you up with a link. Also have the Steel Masters special on Vietnam they have a Dual M-60 mount i'll scan that for you as well.

Mike,

E-mail is [email protected].

Based on what i've seen so far they were made in the field of "scrap" metal. In several variations.

On all the guntrucks in Nam the mounts were built by the crews or the motorpool mechanics from angle iron or whatever they had on hand. You could go to the Community Guntruck web site photo section or even to MSN Armorama photo section to the Maverick model.
