1982, and yesterday

Before and after

Some during pics and the after. D

Showed up 2021 "ran when parked" in '97. Needed absolutely everything except a body lol Current day '24 after replacing/restoring anything I could get my hands on.

Depending on the shims that you get, your center pins will most likely need to be longer to reach the perch, plus be long enough to sandwich the shim with the spring pack. Think of them as if you were adding in another leaf.

Thanks for the swift response. Sully is an 81 according to the registration papers, a Japanese import into the UK a few years ago. This is a petrol short wheelbase 40. I have attached a better picture.

Look like 8" wide wheels and 32" tires

45 and day-drinking today though.

You can get patch panels for the rear quarter wheel well if you don't plan to use flares https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-wheel-well-weld-in-panels-for-cut-openings.1246303/

Some poor country don't have many resourses , they sometime have to be creative

But a 3 speed trans is weird 🤔 Maybe a frankencruiser build with what they found

On the avatar pic you can see the square fuel door and the pop out windows on the hard top , 79-84

First what year is it? Your title should have that could be a 81. Is it gas or diesel? Is it a short 40 series like your pic, longer 43 Troopy or 45 pickup perhaps a station wagon 55. Get at least the Haynes book. Start a photo and written...

Some report good revew for used hmmwv seat belts

Maybe 1/3 of what it cost you to build it Sad but true

Installed my new blue "supercharger" on the old 3B LOL.

Engine mounts were welded in at 3 degrees tilt to the rear and thats how the whole shebang is sitting in there now. Engine is offset 1.5” to the driver’s side. Looks like the steering shaft will work out perfectly running below the power steering...

Decker's style

Post some pics, it can help to see if its a multi-years frankencruiser or stock

Remove the slave and place the fork so the bearing is not in contact , then make a new mounting braket for the slave to fit this fork position , at the same time make the braket offset so the push rod is more inline

It is a lots of work to install a power steering for the time you have to do it

Screw a brss cap on there and be done.
