GL truck interior paint or mud?

[Rattlewagon]

I was looking at some trucks that are in Mechanicsburg and I came across this one that looks like the inside was either painted or got dunked...

what do you guys think?

That is a good looking interior and set of gauges. i think someone hit the inside with some CARC paint.

Looks like DS paint, why, I don't know. Looks like a nice truck.

Looks like someone had a half can of paint left and figured what the heck.

Tan CARC on the floors.

Paint. Notice that the heater duct got sprayed, and not the heater box. ???

 

[ralbelt]

Yup paint, overspray on go pedal, and like Maddawg says heater motor not painted, and passenger side still mostly green.

paint was kinda the way I was leaning... I can only imagine the story behind it...

on another note, I wonder what bobbing an M36 would be like? Anyone try it? would the only difference between it and an M35 be longer leftovers?

 

[54reo]

yup

And the fact that it would be an even greater shame to bob a M36.

yup

A shame because it is somwhat rare? Or, bobbing in general is frowned upon?

no animosity, just conversation.

I'm guessing the rarity. I haven't seen a whole lot of those since my introduction to mvs. Not that it has been a long time or anything. just sayin.

My personal feelings are that I am not a fan of bobbing. However, if someone must cut up a truck, then I think they should at least cut up a common truck.

Only about 10% of all deuces are M36's, and in my opinion, it would be a shame to bob one.

I honestly couldn’t say for sure what trucks would or wouldn't be considered rare. I just don't have the experience...

I live outside of Washington PA. So I have been looking at trucks that are up for auction at Mechanicsburg and Columbus/Dayton. Unfortunately, lately things have been slim. The M36's are the only trucks that are on GL's site right now.

I really can’t justify owning a M35 let alone an M36 they are just too big. But, I can with a little persuasion rationalize having a bobbed truck. It’s either that or an 87 reg cab Chevy 4x4 flatbed I have been looking at but, to be honest, I would rather have a bobbed deuce. I’m thinking most of you would agree with me.

I have been looking for a truck for a while now but I don’t have lots of $$$ lying around so I have been kind of waiting for a deal... Maybe the M36's will go for a lot more than I am willing to spend. Who knows?

Actually, when I first saw the M36’s on GL’s site, I asked myself “what would I do with one of these things? It’s a city block long!” That’s why I figured they would go low…

Sorry for this being so long I wanted you all to know where I am coming from.
