A lot of good work here. Question: Since the quad 50 mount appears to still be on the trailer, how was it stabilized on the truck bed? Blocked in w/wood? And the open ammo can on the M60 would not have the piece on the end of the ammo can as shown, as that was the locking flap permanently part of the can lid, which is not present.
Really like the weathering!

Good grief! It took me forever to get this, DOH!

My understanding is the weight of the gun and mount (about 2 tons) was enough to hold it in place.

There was an installation kit for those trailers into the cargo bed when they were assigned to AAAW units. It was a framework that held the trailer in place, along with a winch to haul it up some PSP ramps.

Yup, the weight of the gun alone held them in place.
