Scratch Built Willys MB - 03/01/14 04:10 PM
I may be jumping the gun with this thread, but I want to. After I am finished with Tom's Willys Wagon, I have decided to build myself a new trail rig. I fell in love with Sebastian's Willys MB a few years ago and have decided to replicate it with a few minor changes. The main changes are; I will build mine as a tube chassis skinned to look like his and I will have a driver's drop front Dana 44 and an NP231 instead of a pass drop and D300.
I will have the same wheelbase, axle width, wheel/tire, and similar drivetrain. Due to under hood room and cost, I will not have a Mopar engine
And this all started because I had a steering box and a fuel tank laying around
5.3L LM7
TH350
NP231
Dana 44 4.10 E-locker, Front
Dana 44 4.10 Detroit locker, Rear
Stock 5-leaf Wagoneer spring, Front
RE 1.5 SOA 6-leafs, Rear
Allied 15x10 single beadlock
36x13.5R15 Irok Radials
90" wheelbase
