Excellent work from start to finish. Had you looked at a M105 bed installation before? It sure look solid and good fitting.

I saw that truck out at east wind. I was VERY IMPRESSED. It gave me a few ideas for some of my projects actually. I sent allen the pics I took out there. Should have several of your trucks too. Thanks for sharing.

Nice craftmanship! Howerver, out of which country this 404S should be? Bows and a tarpaulin with a closed cab on a 404S. I know no country which ever ordered that. On a 406 I would say, ok, Africa. But a 404S with hard top and blue lights on the roof: Fire truck with special purpose boby. But never with a US stile body!

That is the same like a Deuce with container twist locks and no bed!

Sorry, I'm to close to Unimog, I work on them.

It is a stand-in for an East Bloc truck

originally we were targeting a Tatra 805 but it also is similar to a UAZ 3303.

Obviously it is not an exact match but most important was to have a non-US and hard to identify at a distance.
