Well as promissed here are a few pics. I finally was able to get around to pulling the diesel engine from the mercedes and place it into the 40 frame. Photo's arent the best but should give an idea.

Bump for a progress report???

ok.... I worked on cleaning the frame up for the new tub coming.
I think I may have located a toy minitruck rear axle. If it works out then I intend to install the axle, install the motor mount buckets and seat the engine into the frame and finish the transmissions crossmember and install that. Then get the rear axle hook'd up to the transmission... a 2x4 is better then a 0x4. That way I can get the 40 up and going and on the road. Later will address the transfercase.
