PEACEKEEPER SWAT TRUCK CHASSIS REPLACEMENT
Peacekeepers were originally built for the US Air Force and the Navy by the Cadillac Gage company in the early 1980's on Dodge Ramcharger truck chassis . About 600 were later given to American Police Department SWAT teams. Many of them are still in daily service, but the chassis are becoming worn out. The Peacekeeper armor "Hulls" were made to be recycled just like those of the Army's Abrams M1A1 tanks. After many years of service, or if they are damaged, M1's are gutted and their "chassis" are replaced. The ones in use today may have been recycled several times since the 1970's.
We remove the old Dodge Ramcharger chassis complete and replace it with a new truck chassis of your choice, and make any modifications to the body that you need. Our first Peacekeeper, owned by the Killeen, Texas PD went into daily service in September, 2003 and is still going strong. In fact, after almost daily use for 7 years it still has the same tires and shocks!
Save $100,000.00 over the price of a new Bearcat!

We replaced the old 1981 Dodge Ramcharger chassis with a brand new 2009 Ford F550 chassis. Then we stretched the Peacekeeper body 44", enlarged the hood to give full access to the new Ford engine compartment, lowered the front doors to create a 3" sill, enlarged the windows and added 2 more, replaced the old headlights with those from the 2009 F550, and built full length running boards.
NEW INTERIOR
New 2009 Ford dash with new electronics, radio, A/C and heater, airbags, seat and seatbelts.
Now there is room for 9-12 officers and their gear to ride inside protected from the elements.
More improvements
The hood has been expanded to allow complete access to the new engine compartment.
The headlights are from the 2009 Ford F550, the windows are new and larger, and the front doors have been lowered to have a 3" sill instead of a 12" sill.
