Gathering up parts to create a WC/M37 and whatever else I can weld,glue,construct,dig out of scrap pile to make it work for a 6x6.. God help me! One day I will scream "It's alive! It's alive!

I think I unwhittingly contributed to this project.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

You unwhittingly contribute to a lot of 'crimes against nature' Gimp...

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with Lane!

 

[Atomic]

With what engine will it be screaming with? stock or something special? Cool project.

 

[nattieleather]

Get some handy mans secret weapon (duct tape) and you'll be all set! Looks like a fun project. Keep us posted.

Anyone notice that there are no humans (dead or otherwise) in any of the pictures

Humans are sparce in his neck of the woods.
Last time he handed the camera off to a racoon to take his picture, the little critter took off with it, heck it was almost a year before he was able to post pictures on here after that.

I heard said racoon is now a hat. Lane scares humans away.

"Ya hurt your what?!?"

Anyhow, sounds like a sweet project. Are you going to be running a dual output t-case, or are you going the other route? There was a guy on Pirate who built an awesome M715 in a 6x6 form. I will look for pics...

Amazing how something that small can be that intimidating.... Must be the lumberjack look.

Racoons make good summer sausage. Mix in some muskrat and venison to kill the stink. The pelt is now a Davy Crockett spy hat complete with built in digital camera. Gymp! You did contribute ! The power train might be a 4BT I have collecting dust or maybe a 360V8. I wish I could find a NV4500 that is not gold plated! Humans? What humans? The WC51 pictured has the complete original running WWII drive line and that will be going into another WC51 I have that is more complete bodywise. I will be cutting that frame and mating the WC62 remnants to it. The 6x6 axles need a complete rebuild so if the money tree produces 489's for sure. Only one usable combat rim so I am still two short.. Anybody? Can't seem to find any that are not bent or rotted out here in Mi. Gymp supplied my two missing SuperLugs..The wife thinks I have completely lost it. Also looking for seals and any parts for that WC62 T case? Not sure what is different compared to regular WC other than extra drive for second axle. I have given up my search for a restorable WC52 for now. Just can't find one on this part of the planet..

picked up what might be the sacrificial lamb for the front of this.. decisions decisions.

I'm gonna follow this thread - looks like an interesting project Lane! Hope I can see it one day...

 

[kipman]

Lane, is that the 4BT that was at my farm?

 

[Ferroequinologist]
