After my Golden Gate walk, I killed some time in the city library and then rode BART back to Castro Valley. I didn't want to bother Lauren with picking me up since it was only around two miles to her place, so I walked.
Before the crest of the hill to her place I saw this parked on the street:

WOW!
There was a guy working in his garage and I asked him if I could take a picture or two. He came down and "gave me the tour."

His first name was Biaggio and this was his father's jeep. His father had modded it for hunting and recreation use and he had remilitarized it.
Biaggio is a member of Military Vehicle Collectors of California and the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. Believe me, he did a great job!
Here is a period decon cannister from WWII mounted under the right front seat:

Engine compartment. He said only the alternator was not correct. He has the original generator on order:


Under the hood itself:

Two crystal radio set. He said the range was about 3 miles max, line of sight:

A view of the front seat/dash area, with scabbarded Garand:

More soon...
