I was hoping "the cruiser" as i called her (i had no imagination for names before i got wilma) was still running the write up that was posted sums it up well i threw waaay to much money at it. it does have longfeilds in the front axle
Sad to see the rust but not surprised get her back on the road or offroad, that truck was amazing offroad

I was two seconds from hopping on that rusty cruiser. Where are you located? I'm pretty sure I saw that rig on my local craigslist. Great job on the woody by the way in just spent 2 hours reading the whole build thread

Thank you! i try to captivate my readers with stupidity so they cant look away lol. Or i just love making the same mistakes 4 or 5 times

Im in atlanta, norcross is like 20 minutes away so i figured id go take a peek. once i saw the wagon gear products i knew there was probably many more goodies hiding underneath all the rust.

RustWood!!! Those axles would be purrrrty in Woody
Awesome score! I think once you dive in and find out what's really goin on with Rusty that'll point you in a build direction. Sweet

yeah Ive made a plan to hopefully accomplish by the end of the day. I want to take off the Hella headlights, strip the roof basket to bare metal, and remove the rear axle so its ready to be cleaned and rebuilt if necessary. I also want to take a look inside the rear diff, its hopefully nothing but there were some slight banging noises coming from it and i want to make sure all well with the gears.

Thanks guys. I did some work yesterday removing a few things from rusty and trying to figure out if they are usable and working. I got some pics, but didnt have time to post since I pretty much immediately left for the GA CRUISER ANNUAL!!!!!!! So I'll have some wheeling pics of woody and some of the truggies I've been having a ride in. Will post tomorrow or Monday
