Yep, had seriously considered a 101A3 tub until I started looking at availability and prices! Once again, the military sold for pennies on the dollar until the jeep and overland people figured out they were great off road for campers. Again, this would get blasted and painted........ Purchase...

Lots of progress, but not done! Everything to include cab forward and below/mechanical is done. Body isn't show quality, was painted outside and or dead paneled..... Not so pretty, but it is solid! Used it to plow the driveway some this year but it's not on the road at present. Managed to get...

Per Ricks request... Some more pics below. This has been over a year and a half now! Problem with painting the frame is everything that follows must also be painted and or new!!! My wife has been understanding, kind of..... She recently said "Isn't this just a plow truck?"... I think she was...

I'm in the thinking stages at the moment. Meaning i go outside and look at the truck and think wtf! haha Once i get the cab fully off i can get to stripping, scaling and blasting. Definitely will need some brackets and widgets. Am going past you next week (en route to in-laws in Pittsburgh) but...
