Some pics of my new build,didn’t take any pics in the begin wasn’t sure I was gonna start any kinda build thread but this new site seems cool.Started with a 1950s Dodge Powerwagon cab then built the rest.The frame rails are2x5x.188 mild steel with 2x.125 Dom main cage.I cut about 6inchs of the bottom of the cab as I wanted that low cg and the look that goes with it,but at the he expense of some interior space/comfort.Drive train is 6.2 aluminum block LS in front of 4l80e connecting to a DSTRAC transfer case(too long of a wait on an atlas so giving it a try,seems beefy though)useing 2.5x.25dom shafts with 1410 joints.Axles are sd60 and sterling 10.5 with Barnes trusses front and back and PSC 3x9 ram.Stainless mid leath headers with 3 inch stainless exhaust pipe and shorty muffler.Suspension is Barnes joints with 2.25 aluminum 7075 links(Dom mock ups in pics) and 14” ORI struts.I’m working on a sway bar for the rear as I intend to street it a fair amount that will disconnect for wheeling.Rear mounted rad cause not enough room in the grill shell for a big enough rad,but trans and power steering coolers will take that space.Built a aluminum tool box right behind the rad to use every bit of space available for more stuff.The fuel tank is also built to fit and has a Holley billet engine n tank pump.Front and rear 12,000 # (I know harbor freight but I’ve read good things so far)winches.If there’s any interest I’ll post build pics as I progress,love to here your thoughts thanks Earl
