The truck was reportedly fitted with a replacement tub and mounts and the removed parts were media blasted prior to being coated in a two-stage epoxy primer with a sealer, and repainted in four coats of single-stage Mustard Yellow (532) enamel paint. Exterior details include a body-color hardtop with a roof finished in Cygnus White (T12), yellow cadmium–plated fasteners, brass hinge bushings, a Confer frame-mounted tool box mounted to the frame, gray-finished bumpers, and ambulance-style rear doors.
