    1958 Unimog 404 with cabover flex

    Hi Jostt, Thank you, Not sure, I agree that is how it looks to me as well. I am working on the Mog to get it running. had some run-ins with black widows spiders hiding in the rim, all is good. Tomorrow the bus should arrive so that I have a better feel for it. If anything it would be better to...

    1958 Unimog 404 with cabover flex

    Hi Sitec, yes that is why I was getting beer in the fridge for you, haha. These 404 flex 20 degree. My approach is that there is a full connection between cab and bus. The bus overhang will need to be extended and become the bed. The front seat are going to be on swivel so that we will end up...

    Mercedes LAF 1113 B family truck

    Very nice linkage, and nice that you support the weight on two different locations. Are you planning the same in the rear? Since you have chosen the pivot point about centerline chassis how is that going to work out with your pedals and steering cab penetration, There is side to side and up and...

    Hi , newby here. We have been using 4x4 conversion from Econoline, extended van, ambulance and schoolbus so far but thought it fun to graft a school bus body on a 404 soft top. I want to hard connect the cab and the bus for a full body style. Below mockup picture is reasonable to scale, unimog...
