    That's no Tux. It's a M38A1.

    Beg to differ, looks like a Mark III to me. Never saw a M38A1 with a Indian Ceramic steering wheel.

    Not to mention, no APU, tailgate, welded "battery box", Indian Ceramic paint inside, chrome do-dads, etc.

    I'm not seeing the chrome do-dads.....
    but maybe I'm blind, or just the rust ?
    it does look like the steering has been changed over to the one piece tie rod
    I do remember 6 cans of Indian Ceramic paint sitting on our shelves for 20 or so years.....had to move them to dust the shelves.

    They're rusty, but they look like they were chrome to me once upon a time. Moreso than common black. :shrug: doesn't matter much, steering wheel pretty much states it all.

    The MKIII's didn't have a Tux specific VIN. so not sure it matters.

    Springs were added. There were a fair amount of those hubs around years ago.
