It Just Looks So Bad

Well not that bad but it needs so much work.

Sunny CA is a mis-nomer when you live at 6000 feet, but little by little. It's looking beter day by day.

It looks great and not cut which is a major plus in $'s. You still have a bit of work to do but not as much as my first or the one in progress. Basicly just need cleaning up a bit and put the correct parts in the correct place. The only bubba sized mod is the front bumper and the brush guard on the grill but that could stay as a field mod. Of course I haven't seen the rest of it.

Good luck to you & happy MUTTING. Oh can you drive it and if yes enjoy while you work on it.

What's the thing on the hood :?: Does it have the "legendary" yet unexplained double footman loops as found on some of the original M151s :?: Was it a former recoiless rifle unit or ambulance :?: I ask because it looks like the back is gone. Perhaps a previous owner had a tailgate on it :?:

Raymond: A rubber baby buggy bumper another Bubba mod. I think the same with the back, it was just cut out. A hunting club had it in Texas; both fenders have armor plate or ¼â€￾ steel plate. Just like the bumper, that thing would have taken out 20â€￾ trees. That took many days of cutting and grinding.
