    Let's find it.

    I need some help boys. I need to find a part. I need a steering box off a right hand drive mail jeep. I am trying to figure out a conversion for the 40 and I think I have I just need to find the part. Going to mount up a saginaw pump on the other side and run the hoses to it, I just need to find the box. Who has an idea? Junkyard? Where do post office jeeps go to die?

    why does it have to be a right hand drive jeep. Why not a box that mounts outside the frame on a driverside vehicle (scout) and mount it inside the frame or vice versa

    That was my thought, but sounds like you have it solved.

    I was thinking the other day - where did all the mail jeeps go? there had to have been thousands of them, and all the ones I see now are replaced by the new kind of vanish thing. Yet i don't see tons of surplus right hand drives jeep runnin around -did they torch them or something?

    They use them until they are dead. A place down the street from me use to sell them for like 500-200 dollars, you would have to find one with a good motor and one with a good transmission then combine the two. Sometimes you would have to get one with a good body.

    My friend Fred is using a DJ (mailjeep) grill on his new buggy. They are ripping off a BTF Fussion chassis design. Having one sitting right next to it makes copying easy...
