NO!
You don't!
If that is the orginal top you're in for a surprise.
That is the M-220 shop van, or commo van truck. It is
the only one that had that "opera window" by the door.
Better check around the site and see if you can find
the back end that has been removed, its probably being
used as a shed. Check the number by the left front
wheel.
