Default M8 bulldozer, tank mounting drawings

Dear colleagues,

in the late 50th, some M48 got a M8 bulldozer earth moving dozer blade mounted in front of the hull.
This will be my next project, but still didnīt found any exact information about (except M9-Version of the M60 - too different regarding the mounting).
Does anybody have drawings or detailed pictures of the M8 dozer?

Thanks
Freddy

I was looking around for pics of that tank and stumbled across this page

https://forum.warthunder.com/index.p...-added/&page=2

Just scroll down till you start seeing photos and you'll see some truly incredible vehicles, like the Christie M1942 (almost to the bottom of the page), which rather different. I saw quite a few tanks there that would make incredible projects and shouldn't be impossible to build.

If the day comes an M60 hull is available I would live the M9 dozer blade. Then I could at long last have my M728 CEV. But I do like your thoughts on the M8 with the M48.

It wasnīt easy and needed a bunch of hours, but the main parts of the M8 dozer blade are now designed.
