The Dodge nickname was "Beep". Early M6 trucks were fitted with puncture-proof "agricultural" tires (to compensate for the spare wheel disappearance). Cool conversion indeed !

The pictures look nice! Having scratchbuilt the M6 GMC several years ago, I can attest that the kit pics look accurate. I would caution two things however -- I've never seen any use of the M6 GMC in anything besides the earlier tires -- the latest usage I've seen photos is Free French ones.
Also, there seems to be something amiss with the shape of the gun shield. I'd have to see an actual Blast example however and compare it with my Ordnance Dept drawings. But for 35 Euro -- I think it's cool!

Just like the San Francisco Cable Car Gripmen that wear the buttons that say "don't call it a Trolley!" Please don't call it a "Jeep"!

Has anyone actually seen this conversion kit? I can't find it available anywhere.
