I was driving out to the relatives yesterday and drove past a business in Treadwell NY on County rt 14 who had a m35 and m151 out front with Maine plates- Nice trucks, anyone know who it is? 

Happy new year everyone

Subject: Re: [MV] Armor demil for importation to the USA?

Greg

You may be confusing this with a vehicle that came out of
Germany (or with the Herr Flick Panther confiscation - which
has gone quiet, anyone heard anything?).

Under German law, all armour must be cut at strategic places
such that Police with standard issue sidearms can shoot any
or all crew.

Owners are allowed to weld sheet metal back in to blank
the holes.

Also, demil in USA often involves chunks of armour being
cut out, even for museum vehicles. From what I have seen,
this was applied sometime in the post-Vietnam era so
applies to such as M47, M48, M60 etc.
