Hello everyone, I want to pick the brains of you HMMWV fans. Is the floor of the bed on a HMMWV a single, stamped sheet, or is it two spaced sheets? I have very limited hands-on experience with an old ANG M1026 but haven't seen many photos of the body removed from the chassis.

Regards,

Eric

The rivets are a good indicator of where panels are.

The bed and body panels on a standard, non-armored HMMWV are single thickness aluminum sheets about 1/8" thick. There are no double-walled panels in them.
