Yes, indeedYou're going to soon run out of room to put everything! Your return trip will look like the Clampett's truck on the way to California!![]()
Been watching your story with great interest. My M-35 purchase was kind of like yours---fire dept a couple of towns away buys a "new" A3 to upgrade from the old M35.They swap beds and sold the A3 bed with the old truck.The fiberglas troop seats/racks, bows and cargo cover were in the back when I went to pick up the truck.
Although NOT period correct for 1957, I chose to paint the cab (red) to match the "new"A3 bed as it saved a BUNCH of time and still looks okay.
BTW: What paint did you use on the cab for that "Quickie-Camo"? I'm planning the same for temporary appearances.Although NOT period correct for 1957, I chose to paint the cab (red) to match the "new"A3 bed as it saved a BUNCH of time and still looks okay.
