Looking for refs

[jknaus]

Could anyone point me to some good references for the M1083, M1038/9, and the M-198? I would appreciate it. Also would the ammo for the M-198 be the same as the M-109?/110? Just wondering about load out for the back of the M1083. Thanks in advanced for any help.

I own several of the manuals... are you only looking for the crate size dimensions? This would be in a different manual though.

Darn it all, too much of a rush this morning.
Okay I am getting the M1083 unarmoured version and a M-198 late which I would like to put together and maybe have a ready load of rounds and normal field kit in it. I also have a M1078 with trailer to build. I happened to notice though the M1079 and started wondering how hard would it be to make the structure. That would require plans though which I dont have.
So what I would like is to find some good ref material to help me with the builds seeing as I have never built a modern truck. I also have nothing on the gun and would like to find a good resource to check it out.

The M198 use the same as the M109A5/!6 SPG. See here (take note of the M19A5/A6 typos):

A secure Google Docs folder is being prepared. Simply reviewing the ETMs to ensure nothing OPSEC in them.
