bump

I have plenty of NTD's mounted on 1 piece rims?

Have you asked around on the G741 site? A few years back there was a gal out east restoring one of these. It seems like she had a couple more for parts. I will see what I can dig up.

Just a friendly bump for some fresh weekend eyes. Anybody know where some rims off a 8x8 are laying? Andrew has some ideas using Dayton rims so we shall see.

I don't think its the difficult part. I think it's the cost part..

There used to a be a person on here that owned one of them but that has been a few years ago. There has been two that I have seen auctioned off on GL.. Very unique truck has a different transmission also if I recall correct.

Hey Andrew. I never got around to poking at it but is that a 427 engine? Always wondered about that being a non turbo and early prototype.

Yes this is the vehicle that was for sale a few years back and I am very happy to say it found its rightful home with Andrew. He has the knowledge and mechanical skills to keep this rare bird going for sure. Does anyone have Doyle's regular email? I lost it in a computer crash some time ago. I...

Super cool and super rare truck. I will do some digging on it and see what I can find. A good person to talk to would be David Doyle..

I wish! Yeah still alive! Its been a busy two years with work, best friend dying and well.... We had a baby boy in June.. Whew! I promised Clinto I would make one of the GA rallies and I plan to keep it! Just not this year.. Maybe when the boy gets a bit bigger.

Just remember that 3/4 ton rating is for extreme off road conditions and on a flat road they can handle 1 ton or more. With that said I upgraded one of my M101A2s with add on coil springs from Carquest Auto. They slipped between the stock springs and the frame and mounted with a U bolts. It...
