Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I agree!They are completely different! That is a very rare truck, in the condition, that it appears to be in. Altering it in any way would be a shame.
Just to repeat the point - the body is the unique part of this truck. The driveline is bog-standard M37. Driveline parts are easy and cheap to find, as a lot of M37s were made and many of the survivors have body rot or frame damage but good driveline parts. Yes, you can do a repower on the truck, but it will always be narrow with a high CG and the aerodynamics of a large barn door - not meant to be a speed demon, and not safe as one.I know restoring it back to original would be great. But, like posted only 300 made. Parts would be almost impossible to find to do that. My plan was to keep it running and on the road. Convert to a camper. The drive train would have to be upgraded to make it street-able. Try and keep the out side as original as possible. I would prefer diesel with auto trans. Np205 transfer if possible. All this and keep a budget too.
