..so its a lot rougher than it looks!
It started out as an ARMY 61 apache 20 2wd crew cab with a 148 inch wheelbase and a short step box.
I am thinking of referring to its heritage with the personalized plate "XRMYCRU"
of course first there is rust repair to do.. the plate can come later.
It looks like it was olive drab for a few years, and then got sold to the Montana State Hospital. There it was given a thick coat of brush painted yellow, and what took me a while to figure out on the doors, the logo "Montana State Hospital Warm Springs" - that is our 1 state mental health hospital-
After that it looks like it went to private hands and was driven until the rockers were rusted and bent off, and then unceremoniously dumped in a pile and robbed of its short step box, rear axle, and just about every other useable part that would work on a conventional truck.
This is also where it was let turn into a home for countless mice, who really took their toll on the roof rails and front windshield pillars.
here are some not so glorious shots of some of the rust I get to deal with:
