Since I started this thread, I have to jump back in and say that my
truck not only has a yellow nose, but it has a turbo stack AND an
expanded metal grilleguard. All these items are gonna stay on too
along with my new 1990 ring mount.
Added to want list at Aberdeen. Looking for repro 50 cal. Can't spend
a ton.

I think I can over look a turbo deuce in Vietnam markings...........but
what I
cant take is when they paint them in Vietnam markings and dont take the
extra
grill guard of the front of the grill!!!
