Also, I decided to put a diesel in my Dodge M37 and suddenly he has to have one as well Gotta love those old Willys! I saw an orange one about 10 years ago at Carlysle (sp), had a 350 bowtie and a lift kit. VERY Sweet truck, but i couldn't get past the Chevy power. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...

The motor is tiny once it is sitting all by itself. About the length of a 2.2L but taller. I will be swapping the drive assembly from one of my 6BT to give Tom a Chrysler alternator and an AC compressor. I will also be installing my vacuum pump onto his motor. (My deuce won't be needing a vacuum pump ) The 4BT is getting repainted the Cummins Beige that it already is. I will paint Tom's A518 trans and NP205 the same color as well.

Defbob master Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 3,619 Norwich CT USA	I started on the frame for Tom's Wagon since my Dart is off at the bodyshop. It is made from 3x4" 3/16 wall tubing. I am stretching the wheelbase to 112". I have a set of Rubicon Express 1.5" SOA springs and leaf spring hardware from Ruff Stuff. The front D-ring shackles are from Ballistic Fabrication and were the only one long enough to fit through the 3" thick crossmember. The crossmember is the front bumper, that way nothing will be directly in front of the front tires. 7760235-6-30-13-01.jpg (188 downloads)
