M880 troop seat brackets
Bigger:
M135 wheels

and those who...
Yep Something is strange in that pic. While I don't know whose truck it is or when it was taken.
It looks to me like a M35 non turbo and a custom exhaust.

could be that I just got lucky 4 times in a row. (yeah freakin right! I don't get lucky)
this was my 4th
the 1st went to BC on 12/24 and cleared 1/6 while that was 14 days , it did have a couple holiday s in there.
