Anyway, just pre-ordered a Lima six and know nothing about nut sacks. What kind do I need? I assume some are better than others? 100rd belt seems like the right size, but what do I know.

I have the 100rd rectangular ones and the 200rd round sacks for my 249.  
What I would like to have, is a 150 round rectangular sack.  I hate to be "that guy", but the 100 is too small and the 200 is too big.

The Trybe tactical ones seem well made but I've never really used them before to know.  Once I get this belt fed up and running we'll see how it handles the rigors of ranch life and hog hunting.

I'd really like to see what others have come up with for truck bed mounts and receiver hitch mounts.  Maybe even a universal mount for SXSs also.

Do allot of driving around at night thermal spotting and having some mobile beltfed is going to be awesome, at least in my head it's going to be cool as shit

I have a mount that holds my M249 machine gun vertically between the two front seats, right in front of the radio.  It's a steel bar attached to the roof, extending downward about a foot, with a rubber clip-like thing that secures the barrel, right below the suppressor.  Either occupant of the vehicle can access the gun.  In the daytime, I use the iron sights, at night I use a 1x thermal.

I guess I need to get one as soon as they're available.

I've got a belt fed lower with freebr paperwork sitting in a drawer.

Got any pics of that?  We have a few different flavors of those baby seat looking gun holders that strap into a SXS'S.  I'm also thinking more technical looking bed mount other than running a tripod in the bed.  Something where we can shoot from truck bed standing up with a bit of elevation.

I can get a pic of the gun mount next time I'm up at my ranch.

Years ago, I had a flat bed truck with my M60 mounted on an anti-aircraft tripod on the bed.  
I took a torch and cut three holes in the diamond plate so the tripod legs had something to sit down into.  Then I welded a D-Ring to the bed directly below the center of the tripod and used a ratchet strap to hold it down tight.

I don't have a pic of it on the truck, but here's one of the assembly down on the ground.

So just any 249 nut sack will work? I'm assuming the way it mounts to the gun is the same

I think it held 620 rounds with the feed chute full up to the gun.
It's hard to see in the pic, but the ammo can is hooked to a pack frame, which is then attached to the tripod.
Here's a pic of the setup with a buddy of mine showing it off.
Second pic is me firing the same setup in mid-burst.  I fired all 620 rounds in one dump.

I asked this same exact question, and was given GREAT information by several members in the now removed technical thread on the L6, if only such a resource was still around...

Tribe Tactical are a great option. And the owners are stand up people. To the point when I asked about a custom camo patterns, they tried their best to make it work...
