Default Dewats

The dewat FN's always stood out displayed in the truck and I am glad when I found the truck that it hadn't been modified to replace the bucket seats for the bench seat where they cut out the gun clip bracket losing not only the ability to mount the guns but the 524 radio set as well! Buying the dewats cost way more than the truck ever did (even with 2 full tanks of gas!) but I already had them in my collection so wasn't a problem justifying buying just to display in the truck.
The FN's are both Ishapore dewat rifles with all of the Canadian C1 & C2 equipment mounted on them.This is when that stuff was still around to do that! There were also tools mounted behind the bucket seats but were never seen as the bucket seats block the view.Didn't stop me from putting them there though.

Default Radio table in cargo area.

One thing I never completed in the truck is filling the rear cargo radio table with radio sets.I wanted to find a 524 & 25/77 set with adapter tray and mount them in to accessorize the back a little more but with the troop seats,heater and spare tire carrier gave it a full look anyway.

I remember seen your truck back in 2005 coming back from the Duluth MVPA meet in which you purchased the 524 set for it.
