Saw the truck on the other thread - looks promising! I just love that body style. Anyway, I wanted to help you with your winch predicament.............by taking it off your hands. Hate to see the serial # not match the equipment, you know...

Tanner - you beat me to it - but only by a bit over a year.

If this thing is going to see mud, maybe it could be called "Major Ruts".... Welcome, Ian - great to have you here - and love the show!

Cool story - and I have to say, I am not a fan of bobbed 5-tons. This is the first one I've seen that I like. And Boy, do I like it! Nice work!

Yes, pics and info please...:-D

Mine had a broken input shaft flange and a bad bearing when I got it - I heard that isn't uncommon when given a (loaded) shock load. I got my parts from Memphis Equipment (Military vehicles, army surplus vehicles for sale - Memphis Equipment) and Army Surplus of Dodge City (Army Surplus of Dodge...

I just saw these pics over on Pirate tonight - very nice, clean work so far! I'm looking forward to seeing this thing go together.....

Don't kill me, but I'd like to see a HMMVEE ambulance body on a G506. Just visualizing it, seems like the rounded cab would look "right". 'Course, it'd have to have a few other changes to make it look right, namely in the wheel/tire area...

I like the idea of moving it with a QuadTrac - although the sight of a REAL tracked vehicle would probably do some serious damage to its ego....better throw a tarp on that tank first.

I just wonder about the title of the thread on Pirate where that pic was found.......:roll: "My homemade Unicat clone is finally finished!" Or?

How about a pair of feederhouse chains from a couple old combines, with some additional material to fill the voids a bit? Heavy, heavy links, and fairly long.....

Anyone?

I think he said somewhere that it runs - I'll try to find a link. Here is a pic that I thought wasn't worth including, but it shows several trans/t-case/PTO? levers.... **Edit** Link added... http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=817506

NDT - you know your stuff! It is indeed a '43.
