A MAIN FEATURE OF OUR “HANNIBAL” M37 RESTYLING PROJECT IS THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE CARGO BED. IN ITS PREVIOUS LIFE, THE CARGO BED OF THIS TRUCK WAS USED TO TRANSPORT WEAPONS, AMMUNITION AND SOLDIERS ACROSS CHALLENGING TERRAIN.
ALTHOUGH WE HAD NO INTENTION OF RELIVING THAT PAST, WITH OUR OVER-LAND EXPEDITION RESTYLING, WE DID REALIZE THE BED AREA IS AN OPPORTUNITY SPACE THAT STILL ALLOWS A MODULAR AND MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO FULFILLING NEEDS.
WE WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF PROPOSALS AND COMBINATIONS FOR THE BEST UTILIZATION OF THE CARGO BED AREA. WE EVEN PUT OUR OPTIONS TO VOTE ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.
WE CHOSE TO BUILD A 1/8 SCALE MODEL TO PROVE OUT SOME OF THE IDEAS.
IN THE END WE WENT WITH THE SAFARI TOP COVER PROPOSAL WHICH WILL ALLOW TWO FRIENDS TO JOIN US IN COMFORT WITH AMAZING VIEWS FROM THEIR VIP SEATS.
