Don't walk, RUN from that guy. I've never heard anything good about him anywhere. Google Creed Evans and see for yourself.

We were hittin' 'em pretty heavy last night and almost tied a picnic table to the thing and drove it up to the package store!

Why stop now? Go for it! R.N. has a NADA 6-cyl frame right in stock. Wonder if that would qualify for the free shipping weekends they run?

Sure will....In 2035.

Running!!! And like a swiss watch! I'm a happy boy tonight. Moving under its own power and all seems great!

Like my 88" this truck will have four headlights (Hella H4s). The outers will function primarily with the inners being selectable and then operating along with the outers. That's how the 88" is wired and it works pretty well. Lots of light when you need it but no sticky-outy fog lights...

I'm going to miss working on it too. Maybe I won't say that in six months, but I doubt it. Half the fun of these trucks is planning out and executing the build but it'll be a while before I do another. But you never know....maybe a 109 pick-up truck next. Anyway, the wings are hung...

Like Mike said, a decent D90 will run you 35k and a good 110 will be twice that. Really, that's a lot of money for what you get. These trucks will be close to original shape and expect a bit of maintenance and repairs. For the same money and a little bit of patience and hard work you can...

'67 NADA trucks have a unique type of heater. Half inside, half outside the cab. Thanks for the tip...I'll drop him a note.

Work from the past couple days... This is the home-made x-member that sits under the tranny/transfer case. I got that galvanized today along with the breakfast. Here's the breakfast in hours-old galvanize. I sanded and painted just the forward facing surface and the rest will stay raw...

Some progress over the past couple days. Exhaust is finished but finding some nice stainless hangers. The clutch and brakes are plumbed and bleed. On to the radiator and oil cooler this week. I had hoped to get it running by Friday but I don't think that will happen. Next week for sure!!

I'm using military shackles both front and rear, 2-leaf paras on the front and 4-leaf on the rear. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew in the rear. Guess I'll know when the rest of the body is on but it's pretty tall right now. If the front hangers are dropped further than a...

Simon is down near Hamilton if I remember right. Can't think of his last name bit he's a Welshman. Does work for a foundry and is a pretty cleaver cast-man. Does his own bell housings for the 2.8 swap. Not my favorite motor but they seem to work well for those guys. He had is 101/Ford at...

Every time I see your swap I'm more impressed. I can't understand why this engine isn't used more in these trucks. Great job, Sam!!! jim

Here's the truck you need: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/587700616.html http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13483

There's no such thing as a V8 Land Rover that's seen 200k without major work or without being shot and unreliable at that age. As far as a 300k V8? Never heard of such a thing. If that's the mileage you're expecting, you're sniffing up the wrong tree.

Yup, that truck has done the Rubicon a number of times. He used to run my axles in the front and a Sals in the rear. Last I heard he swapped both axles for a pair of 60's. TeriAnn now has those shafts in the front of her truck. jim

Nah, not really. If it's a fancy night we'll break out cheap vodka and Crystal Light!

Exactly. Maybe a Guinness or a Speckled Hen. Meat. Over a fire. On a stick. Eaten with fingers. More Guinness. Dirty hands. Camels or maybe a pipe. Stories of "been there". Up 'till 2:00am working on trucks or talking about working on trucks. Up at 6:00. On the trail at 7:00. Man by...

Everything would be the same except the lower u-joint. Not sure the size and spline count of the Saginaw. You'll need to cut a little slot in the inner fender for the shaft to travel through, but nothing too major. Getting ready to plumb brakes and clutch:
