    Thank you kindly sir... Now I know what the love child of a HMMWV and a M151 looks like... Somewhere a long the lines the M422 also had a fling too... The question is will this be crushed or released.? At least the USMC has a better track record of releasing stuff.... Thanks again!

    Any tips on changing a cab?

    If I am honest with myself... It would have been cheaper to go the stripped cab route than repair the rust. With paint (primer, por15 and a bunch of stuff form Eastwood) and supplies (cutting wheels, grinding stuff, rust reformer... ect) I have spent $$$. I weighed the options at the start and...
