Default Seat covers

I bought a set of NOS US6 seat covers at Auto Surplus, Mitcham, they had a large amount of US6 stuff. I also got a main wiring loom and cut it up for my jeep project .

Colin on the counter told me they were considering scrapping their US6 stock or selling it to the Israel govt. He said they had purchased US6 trucks from the Russians. I also bought new headlights , removed the mounts and fitted Dodge mounts to the US6 headlight bodies.

The NOS parts were packed with shredded WW2 newspapers. They had hundreds of NOS tailights and the WW2 trico wiper motors 2 in a box, 5 bucks a box. Boxes full of early CMP rubber tailights $2 per light this was early 1980s. I still have some NOS wiper arm kits I bought there , the new parts were finished in at least 3 different shades of WW2 era factory applied OD green .
