I know it's a huge burden, but I will do the tedious research to further our knowledge on this subject. rofl

Well it's not armored, or Mopar powered but it is interesting and big, lol. What is it exactly, a bridge truck?

I hope you aren't saying you put a 6" block in between the springs and the front axle.

Looks good. A swap to 3/4 or 1 ton axles is the best mod you can do for a 1/2 ton SUV.

I've got it on DVD around here somewhere so I may pop it in and look at it a bit to see if it jogs anything from my memory. Doesn't appear the news is going to talk about anything other than OJ and the auto industry anyway, lol.

Yeah, there are a lot of changes to various industrial engines but they generally are very similar to their civilian counterparts. At the dealership we frequently replaced the 361 engines in D600 and larger trucks with 383s and 400s due to the unavailability of 361 engines in any reasonable...

A 361 is basically the same as a 383 or 400 just with different CID and build specs. There was also a B series engine in the 50s that was a 350. The 413 is an RB series engine and has a higher deck than the B series and they include the 413, 426 (Wedge and Hemi) and the 440. All will bolt up...

Good deal. I know you will keep us posted. If possible, pics of the usual views will help us put a name to it. Usually the details of the front plate, light arrangement, side panel configuration, exhaust outlets, cooling vents, hatches and ports and the wheel type and spacing are the best...

So far all I've found are several light armored 4x4 models from Israel, Belgium, Chile, South Africa as well as the before mentioned Mowag from Switzerland and a few tracked models from West Germany and the US. I would guess that either this is an experimental model that was either never...

The M8 Greyhound was Ford powered and I'm not sure what the M20 is. The only M20 reference I have was a 12 ton British truck that pulled a M19 trailer for tank retrieval. EDIT: Nevermind, my book has the M8 Greyhound listed but only mentions the M20 in passing since it was a "Utility" model...

Nothing I can think of off the top of my head fits that description. Any idea what era it is from? Some of the Cadillac Gage vehicles had drivetrains based on Chrysler V8 engines but most of them that were larger than 4x4 models got a diesel of some sort. Same with Mowag vehicles, a few of...

I'm sure if you have enough left of an original for a pattern that one of the canvas top companies like Beechwood would be able to make one with no problems.

Agreed, I used both a reciprocating saw and a air powered cutoff wheel to trim the fenders on my Ramcharger. Hell, I even used a jigsaw to bob the bed on my '74 W100 and it was the perfect tool for the job aside from a nibbler, which I didn't have. The reciprocating saw works good when there...

Looks like a local truck to me.

I had that happen to my '74 Dodge W200 with a rear D60. The locks that hold the spindle nuts were messed up by the previous owner. They have sheared off the tab that indexes the slot in the spindle and the forward rotation of the wheel backs the nuts off. You should be able to buy a new...

Awe inspiring work as always. And please post up for us here when you add to that thread so we can keep up with your work, please.

With that angle on the rear axle you should actually have a double cardan joint at the transfer case rear output. To keep the U-joints in sync, they must have similar angles on each end. Otherwise there is nothing to cancel out the elliptical motion of the U-joints rotation. With a double...

A bubble balancer is a cheap way to balance tires yourself. One of the local garages is still in 1970s mode as they are an old Exxon station with the attached service garage that is still in use. sort of rare these days but they would mount stuff for me when I was younger and not able to get...
