A touch of civilian comfort?

[Dreadwater]

Hey, as alot of us know our jeeps are built off the civilian version of the J series pickups from the early To mid 60s, and alot of parts from these vehicles either fit perfectly or fit with mild modification. Im curious in what people have done to bring in civilian stuff from the civilian jeeps to our jeeps with out taking away completely from the military design of the M715. Obviously there are parts that very Obviously fit, like inner fenders and such and the the civilian heater set up that requires removing the vacuum driven controls to manual control ect. But what else?

So far ive found that the bench seats from the pickups fit in place of the buckets, and the doors can be modified to work with our trucks, but what else? There was a guy on the Facebook that made the fresh air vents work but that required him cutting the holes to add them. There are many posts spread throughout the forum that discuss this individually but it might be beneficial to have it all on one thread.

Please comment what you know and have done or link your post to find it! This is aimed with the mindset of thing remaining original like the engine and such but simply adding civilian stuff for ease and comfort from the civilian FSJ!

Cup holders, radio and power steering to me really make the truck easier to live with. I tried to add AC by building my own evaporator/heater core/fan and duct assembly that fit under the dash. Then I got a factory civilian heated and realized even with a hard top getting the interior more than 15? different than the outside was not feasible. That stopped my AC effort.

I built a center console to house and lock up a radio, provide storage and put cup holders in. The batteries are now under the hood.
