wow...that's GREAT.

IMO for the M113 it will be easy to add the M40 instead of  M60 machine gun as in this image :

but for the ford MUTT according to these images there are specific changes to be done to the standard M151 kit :

I hope you will make these changes in an option.

Hello team rubicon have you made it possible to put the M40 on both side (left or right) of your M113 (either on one side or on the other) ?
because on your facebook today here it's only on the right :
(https://i.postimg.cc/tZwH47np/156943532-2790751144511569-5872952914420053465-n.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/tZwH47np)
and I have seen none of your drawing with the M40 on the left like in this photo I had yet uploaded in the conversation :

On top of that on this photo the M40 tub is blocked by a system that I don't see neither on your drawing of the M113 with the M40.
Hope you will add it too.
Many thanks in any cases.

The "standard" configuration for a mounted M40 on the M113 is always on the right side.  Regarding the photo you had posted, it was an M40 sitting on the top of the M113 deck "with the original 3-leg mount" weighed down by sandbags and fuel cans... not a common setup.

ok thanks for the information. :)
I am already happy that you have adapted your M40 to the MUTT and the M113 as I wished you to do.

Nice detail on the vents on the ammunition.
