    VENT SCREEN PICS

        ha it is. I think the truck last moved on its own power in 1981, so those were all the rage back then

          That is funny... I haven't seen nor thought about those things in over 20 years.

            How are the vents mounted, just small self tapping screws? Thanks for the pics.

              I think so. I haven't removed them yet (that's this summer when bulkhead gets repaired)

                The vent screens are mounted with sheet metal screws. Really easy if they were there prior but in my opinion a real PITA to do from scratch but well worth it.

                  When fixing this truck up - I would do everything I could to preserve the FM converter. It is a way cool piece of nostalgia.

                    really? okay. what era do you think it's from? 70's?

                    There's a CB cable in the truck too...

                      '70s or early '80s- from back when that truck was someone's workhorse.

                        I'm not sure it was ever a workhorse - it was owned by a doctor and I think it was more of a pleasure vehicle or commuter. The body is way too straight to be a workhorse. Who really knows though. can't wait to fix it up!

                            If I understood my friend correctly, Japan has had stereo AM for years.
