Please populate a thread with lots of pics as that project moves along ..... many TBN'ers will want to know !

Probably be some stuff here, too:

I have some other projects to finish off first. Finishing the basement, level and gravel the drive (900ft-ish), heat in the garage, etc.
But yeah, I'll try to.

It was an adventure just getting the dang thing titled in my name, which I did a few months back (after having it for more than 10 years). The envelope that the original title came in had postage of about $0.03. Far cry from our rates these days.

Not sure on the sloped hood......

I think the last year had a turbo - somewhat rare in a light-diesel of that era.

....Significant drool on the keyboard hazard.........

Yes the last year, 1980 had a turbo. I'm pretty sure his is a 79.

Perhaps old news if you work in the Oilpatch, or wear certain uniforms, but I just came across them....

This looks like an LMTV (light military truck) to me, civi version.
Occasionally I get the notion of buying a surplus one and building a camper for it... till I see the likely 6mpg.

Looks like they were originally developed for Uncle Sam.

They have the option for highway gearing, but they'd never be a candidate for hyper-miling ;)

Back-country camper..... I was thinking the same.....

The LMTV is essentially a US-production of the Austrian Steyr 12m18, with CAT engine & Allison transmissions.
