Mine was a Belgian water company truck. No such luxuries such as your gun rack. It did come with front nose side markers and chevron pattern red stripes in back and green ones in front.

No glovebox, no carpet, no tinted windows, no interval wipers, no nothin'

It now sports a 4th door, SA steel wrap around bumpers, Vindic canopy, unconnected tach, bigger TD, 17" alloys, even bigger brakes, unpowered powermirrors and seats that aren't shredded.

Alloy gates, new TC doors, tinted glass (maybe power), Behr AC, PS, towhitch, etc., etc. I'm going to have to start installing some of this stuff.
