Update 8/16. I'm still looking for a fording kit for my m151a2.

I have a ROPS kit that is a take off one. My M151A1 never had one on it, but the seller included it in his sale to me. I won't put the kit on. But dang the whole thing is at least a two man lift!

Thanks for the replies, it looks like I've got a ROPS bar lined up for the NJ show thanks to bazookajoe. I'm still looking for the other items. :)

M4 Pedestal has been acquired. I'm still looking for the fording stuff, dash handle, and m142 cradle.

Jeff at Front Line Military Vehicles used to have the grab handles. I bought one from him a couple years ago. It is listed on his website as GRAB HANDLE M151A2. His website is flmv.net

There is a M142 cradle without the ammo can holder on eBay (not mine). I saw it there and posted the link below:

Thanks. I've been thinking about that one but I'm guessing I won't find a can holder for it without buying another complete cradle.

I've got everything listed above except for a fording kit, the previous deal for one didn't work out.
