Whoa!!! Now THATS a brush guard!!!Very cool story!!! Congrats!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yes, indeed That is exactly the mental visual that came to mind as the list of parts grew..... The Beverly Hillbillies Truck with a red cab and woodland camo bed (with FIBERGLASS Troop Seats!!!)You'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.
RECOVERY: T-minus 2 Days, 0 hours, 10 minutes and counting
All preparations are GO for Recovery
...but it looks so good on me! LOLGloating is so unseemly
Can you feel the EXCITEMENT?
