I hear ya - I'm not even going to photochop it cuz I already know I want to bob it and paint the wheels to match. I am going to order a Softopper in tan and then try to find what paint best matches that. The M60 tho may get in the way.

The softtopper in Army colors would be cool. It will give it that personnel carrier feel.

Not much of an update but an update nonetheless. I finally cleaned out the fuel tank and reinstalled it and the bed recently. I charged up a pair of batteries from another truck, added 5 gallons of diesel and hoped for the best. Well, it almost started!I think I had too much air in the lines or pump - someone else will have to fire it up. Thanks to the grill hoop on the Jeep I was able to hang a tire from it and push the truck back into the garage again to meet ordinance. Stupid diesels! It is a lot closer to operational now tho.

Since I bought 3 diesel trucks and can only have one unregistered outside - the ordinance issue may be the kick in the arse I needed to finally do the body swap. God that will be a lot of work - but if it gets me a winter vehicle it would be worth it - still, ugh. I'll keep you posted...

Glad to see you're still working on it. It sucks not having a 10,000 square foot detached garage, doesn't it?
I can't wait until you're done, and Beau is done with his VX and we can all meet up in our "Army Trucks" and enjoy eastern NV.
