It was close to getting parted out as there were already offers on the minty bed on it. I will swap the motor with one I got from xm708 and put in a rear diff that I have. For now I will cover it up until my M-62 gets painted and the Gun truck is well under way.

Well warren,
If I did not sell my 3 deuces and another M-151, I would say yes. I am just saving this one from getting parted out. With a little work, she will make a nice daily runner with the take out engine I have. A possible plan in works is a repower with a 361 :)

Yep from Geo. Did not want to see it get parted.

No on the green frog. Unless it's yellow.
