Filling the floor with 50 caliber ammo cans was kind of the norm back in the day. Many tracks also had a layer of sand bags under the ammo cans. Ontop the 50 caliber cans would be several 7.62 ammo cans (a dozen or even two dozen). Then there would be the small 5.56 cans here and there. The favorite storage box was the bomb fuse containers. They come painted a light grey color, and had a lift off lid. gary

one thing to keep in mind when doing an ACAV or even an M48 is that you never ever sleep inside it! Why? Prime target with only one way out. Usually slept under the track. You could get by doing this in the daylight, but you were usually on the move then. Looking inside one, you might see a couple cots (if they found some to steal), and some blankets & poncho liners. You always kept your beer and anything of value inside as the locals would steal anything they could lay their fingers on. gary

Thanks Mike and Gary. Yup never slept in a vehicle except during the day cat napping, otherwise it was in a hole in the ground, tent or on /under my vehicle.

argh, too many damn tiny parts in this kit lol. Still working on the exterior parts. You have to be careful as not to break the parts trying to clean them, or feeding the carpet monster.
