One more thing I forgot to mention . . .

The body on the truck you mention above ("Gryphin", owned by John Comer of
Gryphin Racing in Aurora, CO) is steel.  So is the tilt front end.  All are
stock Scout 800 body panels.

Granted, the cargo floor and most of the inner tub walls is missing;  and
the front-end pieces have been welded together in a non-stock fashion.  But
there's no fiberglass in that photo.
