You're jealous.
And, they may actually work.
I do like the tow strap tied in a knot around the front crossmember or whatever that box is.
Its built on a IH Scout frame...Arent Scouts more rust prone that a series Rover?
I like the picture of the RoversNorth sticker...like who cares?

maybe one of you hot rodders can tell me - what are those big ass pieces of iron hanging of the bottom of the rear leafs on that truck. I always see them on muscle cars - are they to keep the car from power squating or something? That's right - I said power squat.

I'm pretty sure those bars are to prevent axle wrap during hard acceleration. All series trucks should have them.
