Yes, it is. That is a very unattractive upgrade kit, along with the one
piece windshields. These guys are providing trucks for agriculture and
construction. Using M35s and M54s as the basic truck chassis is a great
idea, and there are loads of them to go around. The product just doesn't
look much like a military vehicle anymore.

truck a lot
