    M-60 with turret mount can be fitted nicely to the bed of your 4x4. Cabelas had an original US Ord M-60 with the full auto tax stamp in place recently. You should do it.

    yeah thats why i said his post doesnt make sense earlier...hes contradicting himself. not all ppl use a truck to offroad or haul things on a daily basis. I installed a supercharger but doesnt mean i get on it. I still feather the throttle, the power is just there when I need it just like 4x4...:)

    I would love (another) $10k. I used all $10K that I made from being deployed to pay down my truck loan. With the economy going the way it is, I do not want a large debt hanging over my head.
