I have not read everyone's ideas about their dream project truck yet but if I were going to go to the trouble to build a one off truck I think I would build a '60s W series 300 with an extended "suburban" type body which would accomodate tools gear and sleeping. I would power it with a 383,440 or 413 turbo charged or a big turbo diesel so that power would not be an issue. I would run a 540 direct top transmission and 3 speed aux. transmission. Dana 70s with power steering and vented power assist discs and an exhaust break if it was a diesel. If I was building a Dodge 4 wheeler I would build an M37 with a diesel and multilink coil spring suspension and disc breaks. But why would I do that I have Unimogs.
