My new (to me) ride.

Just the body and axles. what's up with the rear window?

If all goes according to plan, it will get A LQ4/ T400/ atlas combo. Then a D60F/14bR 4link front and rear unless the front won't work and then it will get a 3 link.

My wife and I like to do expedition trips and some rock crawling and the rig will be driven on the street too.
I hope this does not offend the purist here, but really there is not much there anyway and at least the body will live on.

Build thread to follow once I make some worthy progress.

No offense taken, glad to have you with us!
The oval rear window is correct for the WWII CCKW top you're running-lots of folks run CCKW tops because the M37 hard tops are so hard to find. Keep us posted on your progress-lots of knowledge and experience on this forum as you work your way through your build!

Thanks Gary!

The main reason for using the parts that I am is I have them already. I am stripping my buggy pictured here. I would love to use more Dodge parts as I am a Ram truck owner for most of the last twenty years, but not in the cards as of now.

Anyhow, body is rust free. needs work in places, but it will be a pleasure to work with real metal that I can weld and shape.

Yep, quite a project! I once had a 2006 Ram 1500, ended up trading it in-miss it to this day....
