M3A1 Ladder Racks
« on: September 22, 2015, 08:10:33 AM »
Looking for a set, repro, original or drawing to make them.

These are the ladder looking racks on the sides of an M3A1 above the mine racks. Fitted to some M3A1's and would have been on all M3A2's if they had made it to series production.

You are correct. I thought I had found an M21 chassis earlier this summer but it turned out to be a T30. A couple of years ago there was a guy on the G503 with an original M21 rear door, he was in Arizona. It had USMC markings on it iirc.  You might be able to track him down and get it for your project.
