let me think about it and ill let ya know
Well, got the 60 and the transmission out today. Anybody want to buy a 14bt dually axle?
Tore the tranny and 203 apart. lots of water in tcase and tranny, clutch packs and pump rusted in places but the valve body seems to be in good shape. No rust visible in t-case. tore the D60 down some more and banged calipers off. Pictures to follow soon.
coming in a little late to this thread...
That's a nice CJ - sell it and build a strong beater that you don't have to worry about body damage on. You can get some decent money for that CJ...
It was my first vehical and what started my love for jeeps so i gotta do it to this one.
Well, after talking with feller last night, im putting the jeep aside and building up the donor truck of the motor. its a 92 Z71 1/2 tun ext cab.
I'm such a bad influence :flipoff2:
so did the tranny get the okay?
not yet, still debating. Any new names for the truck since im changing the thread or just leave it the same?
mothball this thread and "ed" it (the half of the zulu tribe that is using the computers around me looked at me real funny when I laughed at that when I saw that earlier Jerry) and start another one. No help on the name, wait till we start drinkin then we will get one figured out.
Don't build a fullsize. Worthless on the trail. Put all that crap in a Toyota or a suziki or a cheap JeepQuote:

im gonna try the "foolsize" with the money ive got now, plus like scott and others have said, the jeep is in great conditon. if bad comes to worse, ill do somthin different but its all there and ready to go and a lot cheaper to do it.
I think if he swapped "cheap" out for "****tay" then it would have been irony :flipoff2:Quote:

true but i really dont care at the moment, aint worried bout the body, as feller mentioned, im gonna "beer can" it
Starting out with a rig that is in good condition either makes you want to keep it that way and learn to drive better or allows you to make the purist cringe everytime you go out.Quote:

So what's the plan on this? You really can't use much from your 70's truck as far as drivetrain goes because the d60 is wrong side drop. I'm guessing your wanting to SAS it too?Quote:

i was looking at the DD machine one
careful he's popping a stiffy over your truck as a truggy
that thought has crossed my mind, its gonna be a pig pen, but gas and newer!!!
yeah, go 241 doubler. **** cheap jeeps, just throw the axles in, weld some **** up, but in a doulber and flog it
Plus I love the sound of cruching **** metal
As I've said before, the happy medium for a wheelin rig is halfway between a fullsize and a jeep-sized vehicle. You can start at either end of the spectrum and work your way towards the middle. I find it cheaper to start at the large end and chop and hack my way down than to start at the small end and lengthen, clearance and stretch my way up.
Or you could just say "**** building anything" and run whatcha brung...
If you build that truck all you'll have is a big piece of **** with some decent axles. It'd be just as easy to build an s10 or dakota. The s10 can be found cheap with the 4.3 and do the 231/d300 doubler, and the dakota is common with the 3.7 v6 and not hard to find with the 318 v8, and a d300 bolts up in it. I can't figure out why more people don't build these instead of the no powered ifs toyodas. You're gonna swap axles anyway and doublers are just as available, so might as well get a truck that's allready got a real motor. And they cost a couple grand less to start with.
I agree... I'd do an S10. I actually looked for S10 cabs for a while to put on the blazer frame.Quote:
