I am up to 5 CUCV's in various states of disrepair now. Three came
without dash pads, one appears to be an unpainted replacement and the
last seems to be a badly weathered and cracked black one. My M1010 does
have burgundy door panels but it came without a dash pad. The new M1009
with the black dash pad came without any doors. I was wondering what
others had found.
