Figured out a slick way to add diesel fuel to this beast. I don't care who you are, this is cool!

After the cab is all enclosed I can start on the drive train. Will be looking for a divorced t-case and possibly an 80 series axle, for the centered differential. Reason I need to wait for the cab is I'm maxed out on length of the truck to fit in the garage. Once the drivetrain gets modified, I might be lengthening the chassis some more to accommodate the other t-case, and that means parking it outside.
Ideas are still turning up. If I build it, they will come.
Me too. I can't imagine how that can be done... Unless you find one of these in a junkyard (impossible)
Just need these....(or is it a "this"?)

I still like the idea of Dana 24 with FJ40 driveshaft flanges.
Holy crap! What do you estimate for power loss by the time those rear wheels start turning?
Great build.
Maybe I missed it, but what engine are you planning on using?

That's what I was hoping you'd do, specifically with the carrier bearing on the front (rear) axle housing. If the front (rear) axle was an offset diff (stock 60 or whatever) then you could put the carrier bearing on the center of the housing, which would help limit misalignment.
I can't wait to see this put together
Look at these for some inspiration. A Land Cruiser 70 series pick-up 6x6.
Pity they do not show the transfer case side.

Cut out the rear hatch window frame to use on the cab. Will clean it up and then mate that to the rest of the skin.

Up early and decided to put up some sheet metal. Next is trace out the window frame (making sure it's level, lol) and weld in the frame. Once I'm happy with fitment, will weld in all inside and out.
Body work looks killer so far.
We are all on the edge of our seats waiting to see what you create for the drivetrain.

I know its a ton of work (done it) but, the D-pillar section would have been KILLER looking on this.
