Well its been a while, not much progress but I have made the desision to go full offroad. I do have it partially taken apart and have found lots of cutting and welding has been done to the frame and is a little bent (former log skidding). If I can sell the box I will (its a little heavy). And I...

Considering the shape of the CMP(previous owner used it as a log skidder) I'm not to worried about breaking anything. If it breaks it will be replaced with something stronger, if I cant find it I'll build it. If its not stock then its probably stronger and better. If I could find a 4BT cummins...

Going to look at a mercedes 300sd that has a diesel motor for my truck...:cookoo:

Hmm, I'm 6'1" and with the Astro van seats I barely fit behind the wheel. I guess I have been corrected on another site and the truck is a 1942. Progress is really going to slow down as it is now snowing and I dont have a shop or a shed to work in.

So one day (about 10 years ago) I hear about this truck from a buddy that knows a guy that has this old army truck thats sitting in his back 40 that he doesn't use anymore. So one day Kev (buddy), myself and a dozen cold ones go for a ride to see a guy about a truck. Turns out he want $700 for...
