It was looking good until I got to the underbody kit that has been installed. :roll:

So what's so bad about having a glove box? Yeah, I know none of the 151s had stock glove boxes, but really, how much of a crime is it to install one? The 151s have no secure storage except for the toolbox. I think it would be really handy to have a glove box. And, just how "correct" is an ammo can bolted to the floor between the seats?

I don't know about "correct", but the 20mm ammo cans were commonplace on our trucks that didn't have the M-4 pedestal mounted. You know the stuff we hauled always was in excess of the design of the truck. That's the only reason I liked the Gama Goat as a backup vehicle! And the glove box is actually a clean installation.

What is the extra cable on the carb? Single horn hood latches.Red everywhere. A2 rear seat with what looks like the original A1 latches still on the fenderwells. Glove box would have looked cleaner with a piano hinge instead of oversized cabinet hinges.
