up in the morning thinking that mounting a 57mm AT gun on an extra
LT chassis would be workable. And there aren't any paper plans or
anything? Darn... What Empress Bolo said. The_Chieftain: The issue was that the US was still mainly messing around
with half-tracks when they started developing the 57mm tank
destroyer expedient. (as opposed to the ideal one, the T49). They
very quickly figured out that the 57mm did not have the punch they
needed, and abandoned it.

thing have? I see what looks like a gunshield underneath all
the boxes and tarps and crap, so I assume it had gun traverse.
also, is it just me or does the driver have a flip down
armor plate in front of him?The_Chieftain: He does. And limited. The problem with the M5 was that it
was nowhere near fast enough, and had a total lack of stowage
capacity.
