Lots of FMTV troop carriers dressed
in their “B” kit armor, and .50 cals
in the turrets.
I thought at one time, tanks could be
outfitted with rubber tracks just for
parade purposes?

It doesn’t involve new protective armor or a new cannon system, but rather the replacement of the linked bands of steel track “shoes” with a single track band that is primarily rubber.
