I got a new grill built for my Carryall. It cost me about 40 bucks Canadian for the steel. Thats hot rolled. Next time I will use cold rolled and save me the time of blasting off the oxide. All told it took about 5 hours to build.
I have yet to find a 4bta but I am now certain that is my best choice for a motor. NV4500 and the Danas are no brainers.
I think the original frame may stay under it , but the jury is out on what to use as a suspension.
I have a steel floor cut out of a 96 dodge pickup. The long box version would work better than the short box version.
I will make the one I have work,but the long box would need only a trim to drop in.
I will be making new running boards that will have the out side edge strong enough to act as a rub rail , jacking point and crash bar,
The door hinges will be upgraded for safety. So far the only thing that will fit is the bear claw style latches. I tryed several dodge latches but they were too large. If I use the bear claws I will take pictures and send them to the PWA.

take care

I almostbought the tires Marty had but the shipping would have killed me. I have to find something closer.
