yes, and the rear window screen, and on the inside you can see were the cowl lamps and gas tank would have been punched out but never were, it has map table and all its origional dash tags numbers match on frame a nd dash plaque. the brass bed tag is there and date matched dash tag. There is no rust in cab and no evidence of rust repair. Truck came out of Arizona allclues point to a truck that is a very complete origional truck and with the exception of an canadian M 37 engine transplant which was done before I bought it,it is a nice truck. The only sheetmetal I replaced is the hood due to metal fatigue around the hinge areas. I still have it. The 42-43 WC51 I have is the most complete origional unmolested one I have ever seen and unfortunately #5 piston is stuck hard and I will have to get the engine rebuilt. But I am going to leave it alone as much as posible. I dont even want to paint it at this time as all origional markings and unit numbers are very clear and visible it came off a ranch in the Havre Montana area and all evidence points to a truck that has been stored and not run since the early 60s, I found a leather rimmed driving goggles and an military accident report dated 1944 in the glove box among all the tractor parts and the 1 inch of stall cleanout. They had a wood cab on the wc 51 and it protected the inside very well.
