Nice job ! I wondered what my truck would look like with the gammagoat lenses up front-now I know! I run goat taillights myself.

Gary, beat me to a reply. Yes Gamma-goat lenses. But did anyone notice the B1 cab and early bed mounted spare? I reworked the B1 front panel for the tire carrier and both the floor and sides are early M37. The spare looks great on the door but I'm way toooo old to deal with the tire carrier each time I pull myself into the cab. I used carriage bolts to seal the holes in the cab so if anyone down the road wants to make the truck correct they can. Also on the interior shot, look close and you will see a green light above the choke, that is my illuminated fuel pump switch that controls the pumps 24v relay.

Beautiful job on restoring the truck. Thing is though, they are never really finished (which is nice).
I really like the fact that you have the "option" of adding a door tire carrier. I'd really like to do that to mine some day ( I have most of the parts - I just need the spring spacers, I think).
Great job! Keep posting pics of your progress!

I would skip Skeet just to drive that good looking truck around.

Nice job!

Thanks All,
Today was a kick off for Skeet and as much as I enjoy working / driving the truck I'm the Skeet chairman for the club and it takes a lot out of me. The heater is from what I think is a M151 jeep (lost link) and I took it apart to roll the outlet to a better position than it was in. The switch and rheostat I had from the old cab. In that old crazy install part of the glove box and the inside panel of the cab were hacked away to make room, something I couldn't live with. So today I'm 50 miles from home shooting silly clay targets and my cell goes off from a friend that was at a MV swap meet in I think Pa.? He found an NOS rear cargo strap for the bed back boards for $20. So it was a productive day even for the M37.

Looks great! So that heater fits with no mods to the glovebox? I need to find one of those!
thanks,

Your truck is looking great! It doesn't look like you have to much more to do to make it done. Good work!
