Slowstang88- that's awesome man! Can you tell me how far deep does the glovebox go? Also how do the vent plates( above fender below hood) latch closed?
Tnredneck- thanks man !!
i can measure the glovebox dimensions tomorrow, i cant really recall off the top of my head.. as for the vents, if youre talking about the ones behind andunder the hoodline, theres brackets/friction springs on the front and rear of the vents so they can be opened to the front and rear. if youd like, i can take pics for you and email them or post them here, these will be m-35a2c's but the vents, glovebox, and majority of the cab are identical. please pm me for a reminder, i would bookmark this but my vista is acting stupid again and hid it..

Bigdodge- thanks man it's getting there I'm working on the driversside tonight and gauges/ stering wheel will prob be last.

Slowstang88- cool man awesome. There is one pic I couldet get, a veiw of the bracket that's on the bottom rear wall of the cab to bolt the cab to the frame. I could only get the pic from the side as the m35 had a cargo bed on it. A head on rear cab shot would be great! Also maybe a rolling frame with the motor and tranny mounted would be cool! If not it's no biggie and I'm sure I can think of something elts in time also srry LOL maybe a pic of the engine bay with the hood up and the side panels down?

I'm not sure which compound I got, but they feel a bit stiff.....I was hoping they would be a bit softer with more grip.....maybe I got the old compound.
