[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1428889, member: 21926"] It’s not convenient enough to do this. I’m running a 1919, and unless you’re going to cut the roof more, you’re not going to be able to pop the gun out, even if you hard mounted to the roof, you need support. You’d have to hog the roof quite a bit to be able to run the gun, plus, you need a T&E to prevent the gunner from stitching the hood or cab. Too much drama. Another thing: Muzzle blast will F*ck stuff up quick and it will be Loud AF in the cab. For cab mounting and even forward running bed mount, you’d better have the cab secured; roof closed or sealed. Fab up a socket on your chase rack. I’ve got a swing arm mount that I’m going to use to fire from the bed. Same issue, but I’m thinking I’m going to make the socket height such that the barrel cannot possibly do the cab, hood, or even point blank in front of the truck. Yeah, if you haven’t run some rapid fire in motion before, it sounds a lot cooler when you’re not being beat around by a driver playing Rat Patrol. You’d better be -damn- sure of the gun mount and T&E strength and the belt fed driver better be skilled. Hell, I’d seriously consider a mount like Dillon did for the SUV gun. Servo driven, electronic dash controls. [/QUOTE]
