We may know each other, Bob. Do you ever venture over to the "Guns and Rovers" board? I've been there for a long time under the name "Mercedesrover"
The truck did come from Canada and though I don't remember the original turn signals, the wings have been replaced with the style you see here and the smaller light set. I think the bigger turn signals are ugly. Most of this truck has been put together from the odd piece here and there and matching the proper part to the year of the truck is my last concern.
The truck was owned but Trevor Easton, the original keeper of the Birmabright Brotherhood, and was sold to John Tackley in Richmond. I bought it from John in 2000 and started the rebuild soon after. In a quirk of fate, I took over the Birmabright Brotherhood a couple years ago, before I knew that Trevor used to own this truck. It used to be marine blue.
No, I've never been to MAR and with the weather they seem to get there lately, I'm just happy I haven't! We were just at the Guy Fawkes rally in upstate New York this past weekend. A fun time and lots of cool trucks. 3 or 4 101s around too! One with a Ford 302 (that spun a rod bearing on Saturday but was back on the road by 8:00pm!).
Yeah, I installed the alpine windows when I did the headliner and sunroof a few years ago.
Drop by the Guns and Rovers site when you get a minute. There's a great bunch of guys over there and some are pretty clever with leaf-sprung rovers.

Hope to see you over there!
