what the heck are you doing in NM?
Church mission trip working on a church built in 1902 and school built in about 1920. These 18" thick adobe walls on a stone foundation bui;lt in 1902 have held up better then many new much newer homes.

Church looks fine! Now get back to work dealing on that cool truck!!
 
That truck has probably got a LOWE conversion on it. Pretty much impossible to find parts for.

Some people find lost puppies and take them home. Others find puppies that aren't really lost and try to convince themselves [and their spouses] otherwise!
Fortunately, most of us here have MVS anyways, so we got your back on this Mike.;)












So what are your plans for the build?

I had and sold a truck like that on ebay about 3 years ago. Mine had paper work with it calling it a wolverine package. It had a dana 30 front end and a dana 20 transfer case. It only brought about 2500 or 2700. It didnt seem much considering I have never seen one before or after. I will try to round up some pics of it.:beer:
 
Mark, what's a LOWE conversion? A quick google search didn't turn up anything.

It'sactually something BEFORE MY TIME, believe it or not. This was the company that converted the old Datsuns, Toyotas, Chevy Luvs etc into 4 wheel drives back in the 70's before they started building them at the factory. From what I understand, their main facility was in Van Nuys, just a few miles down the road from me.
