Thanks much! Look forward to reading your thread and learning in the process! Will try to post more pics of the truck, as it currently is, and as progress is made with the renovations.

Thanks much! Yes, the truck was originally a Paraguay army vehicle, then used on a cattle ranch and partly restored...I bought it here and the plan is to take it to the US, when my work here is done, in a year or two.
