extended rear panel, different bows, fold up passenger seat, spare tire mounted on right rear fender, if it doesn't have the litter supports, rails and mounts, they are nearly impossible to find, get ready to spend big money if it doesn't have the top and side curtains.

Don't forget the funky little box in the back that I have to make for someone...

I have lots of stuff left over from my build if you end up taking the plunge. The hardest part to find is the "horseshoe". A close second would be a real folding front seat and that rear box the Guy mentioned above. Aside from that, I have seen pretty much everything else available. Tops are pricey if you have them made but original ones are still out there and pop up on ebay a few times a year. The key is patience because virtually nothing is available from a dealer for instant gratification.
