Hi Keith,
I have a question.
In your pictures on page 3 (I think), you have mounted the shortened ammo locker behind the drivers seat. I was understanding that it was mounted behind the passenger seat to allow better access to the rear.
Can you clear up my confusion please.

BTW, a very helpful thread. Thanks.
Sam.

Those are not the correct original ammo lockers. The originals are set back further to the center area.

They are half sized that were purchased by the previous owner. While not correct, they do allow much better access to the rear so older veterans and other passengers have a much easier time climbing on board for parades and other events. It also allows for more room to stand and throw candy and have fun.  ;D

I don't think the photo above is actually correct for an M2A1. The locker on the co-driver side should be half sized as you pointed out as shown below.

Thanks for the nice comments about my thread. It was a fun project!!
