Yes Brian, If you could find it in your schedule, there are some parts which I would like to have. The Frame rail sections, from the aft edge of the front crossmember, to about 2' aft, even if slightly bent, would help me make my mounting kits even more idiot proof. I will get you an exact minimum dimension (min shipping weight), if you can do this. They would also aid me in the design of other possible mounts.
Also, there is an M43 in a Torrance driveway, whom someone cut the rear spring purchases off of, (which anchor the front springs), ea side. These castings are rivited to the inside of the frame, and the rivets are tough. You could just cut the frame rails. These castings also are the base for the stock bellhousing.They have a 1 1/8" horizontal hole in them for the original B/H mounting bolts. I could save another vehicle with these.
And I would like the front, bolt in crossmember under the transfer case. And the riveted triangular brackets which attach this crossmember to the frame. My schedule is not improtant, make yourself happy!
For everyone's information, M37 frame rails (the rear straight part}, nest perfectly around the frame rails of my '77, 880 Dodge. I used them as front extensions. How stupid is this!! Even the holes can line up for bolting the two together!! Ea M37 can donate 2 pieces about 3' long!! I have 2 sets of extensions, but I will never "fix" another 880. And of course, the frame rails in front of the front M37 crossmember will provide a kind of half assed, but much longer, set of front bumper extensions, for those who want to extend the nose of the m37 forward to accept some long engines such as the 6B Cummins.
