Wow, it's a small world after all (sing along if you'd like). I remember that, we also talked about lockers and differentials, too! I ended up using my M Series Dash as a pull out drawer for some shelves, lol. Post pics of your M Series, I am always glad to see them.
Thanks klausz!
Meanwhile, I did manage to score a deal on a 65 gladiator truck that had a recently recovered bench seat. So I slowly dismantled the 65 and labeled and stored the parts and scrapped the rest (the bed and cab were about the only peices I couldn't reuse).
So I cut a few inches off the mounting brackets to set it down in a more comfy place.
Semi-gloss paint
Oh yeah, we did insulate the floor after painting it and treating it for surface rust:
We re-used the old rubber mat after repainting it with bumper paint and a vintage refurbished sparkling green floor mat all over black Ottozone black carpet.
So that's where we're at- I did swap in a speedo cable from the 65, too. So now the odometer works as well as the speedometer itself!
