Hi Paul, yes I'm on DTR and TDR and Pirate4x4 and 1stgen.org as well... haha
sounds like a great plan... well I was just over at 100dollarman's place today and picked up 5 37" MTs for the 16.5 wheels I have and they look meaty.. I plan on keeping it low.
Meiser, I'm building a 1972 power wagon crew cab cummins conversion. Basically the way it sits now it has burly double wrap springs at the front eylet on the front springs, D60F/D70 4:10 LS out of a 1990 dodge diesel underneath, divorced 205, 3spd brownie... Rig has a lot of history to it. I'm sourcing a PTO winch for it as well that runs off the tcase... It originally had an electric winch fabbed underneath but it won't fit with the cummins.
I originally wanted to go 4x4 5sp out of my 1990 w250 donor but I changed my mind when I bought my 1993 w250 5sp 60K mile rig. Now I want an auto to romp around in the brush and beat up a bit and just use the 1993 as a tow / long haul rig. (not to mention that the 2wd 727 route will be a bolt n go cummins conversion with no fab haha - truck originally had the 360/727 ...)
So I'm looking for a non I/c 1989/1990 cummins with 2wd 727 attached... I'll keep the brownie and divorced T case, and all the drivelines, however they'll prolly need to be upgraded with 1410 yokes etc... at least with the slushbox there won't be as much dynamic loading on the driveline with all that monkey motion happening between the 727/tcase/brownie/rear axle...
Here's a pic of where it was when I started, and where it is now... just stripped down basically.. I haven't made much progress.
Sorry for jackin your thread with my pics.
