Mystery armor plate
« on: March 06, 2024, 06:49:54 PM »
Stopped by a guy's place this afternoon who told me he thought he had a piece of halftrack armor.  I don't think it is...measurements are 63 1/4" long by 36" tall, with countersunk holes evenly spaced along all 4 sides.  No footman loops and no other bolt holes other than the perimeter holes.  Any idea what it might go to?

PS...thought I got a picture but I guess I didn't save it.  :(

11” to short for the width of a Halftrack and too tall for rear armour so I don’t think it’s HT.
