    Mine was in the same condition and I saved the body from the cowl and dash forward. Got another jeep for parts and took the back end off it to weld onto the other one. It was a fun project. I posted some pictures a while back. Enjoy it .

    regular battery chargers

    A while back I posted about the frozen batteries, I recharged them, but they will not crank the truck. I guess the plates warped. I put a couple of old 12vt batteries in after recharging them and the ole M211 started right up.Guess its a wasted $200.00 for the 5 month old batteries. Live and learn.

Also put a lawnchair up on that deckand you can relax once in a while.while you are at it put a matching post on the other end of the bumper to be...
