"A1 advances incorporated across the new production fleet included: new front seats, improved parking brake lever with safety release, metal hood grille, improved slave receptacle, solid state glow plug controller, modified rifle mounts and upgraded rear half shafts."...
I can tell you that my experience with these folks has been great. Bruce Campbell coordinates the sales on these parts and is fair, reliable and true to his word.
Thanks. As you said 86humv has a lot of the parts I still need. Want to do this conversion/upgrade right and will be pulling the tub for this. Never had more fun that putting this project together. It's become my new passion.
