Got the hubs and the handle today John. Didn't even realize the hubs were heavy duty. Old ones weren't so it was an upgrade. And the handle looks even better than the picture. Thanks again. 👍

I have an 8/68 build American spec and it has a one barrel exactly like the one 65swb45 posted. I'm 99% sure it's the original carb.

No. Couldn't begin to get where I wanted to go without 4WD so it turned into more of a Sunday drive. :(

Took it hunting. Ran great after the carb rebuild. :) Stopped great after the brake rebuild. :) 4WD won't engage. :bang:

I was afraid this would be the case. I was where they are listed from 0 - 2 inches of lift. Just hoping I could get away with it. Thanks everybody.

Stock suspension 69. Thinking about upgrading my old Ranchos to Bilsteins. However, if I were to at some point in the future add a 2.5 lift, would I be able to keep running the same shocks?

You and John Kruk.

Rebuilt my D-40 last weekend with a kit from Cruiser Outfitters. It was perfect. Just confirmed the build date with them when I ordered.

Sweet ride. I want to hate those Golden Eagle looking wheels but they actually look kind of cool.

Rebuilt the carb. Running like a top now. Had never been into a carb before really. Never would have had the guts to try it if not for reading threads and tips on this site. So as always, thank all you knowledgeable SOBs. 👍

Kinda hate that they routed the exhaust out right below the drivers door on a topless rig.

One piece hood?

What are the visible differences between 70/71/72?

I have the same issue. Brazing in a stud never occurred to me. What did you end up doing Tennessee80?

The best green.
