Alas, my tiny offering is still a project in the making.
I have a 1979 diesel wagon. I'm dropping the body on an old (1994) S-10 frame and running gear from a Bravada.
The 79 is non-turbo, but I have a couple of turbo OM617 engines hanging around. From what i can see, the remaining drive train will adapt.

Are you cutting those lugs off to fit 17"s like your friends rig?
Haven't gotten around to that yet. I have an overall measurement in mind for when this thing is sitting on 40"s but I may choose to cut down the axles instead of fawking with the wheels.
Buddies rig.
My 1250 L Doka Unimog , Sherman Pass trail near Kennedy Meadows ,CA.
how did you get it and approx how much did it cost?
Dead sexeh
Had it for 15-20 years now. Might finally get it running this summer.
Nice, is that the one from your profile pic?Had it for 15-20 years now. Might finally get it running this summer.
Yes.
It's been a long process. When I first got it I stripped off the body and got it running and drove it with seats on the frame. Then sandblasted and painted the body.
Then I had kids and no garage.
Now I have garage and the kids are old enough that I can get a little bit of work done here and there.
Does yours have a pertronix civilian ignition? I'm looking for some help on the wiring diagram for installation.
Just curious, do 99-07 Chrysler products qualify?
I installed it this past fall, I may still have the instruction sheet for it. I'll look this evening.

Here's mine. '61 German 404.114 custom doka. :)
I'm down to three Unimog 404s. My first Mog is the '65 NATO Pritsche in my sig, bought it off Craigslist in 1996 for $6k and probably spent another $4k and two years making it into an $8k truck. lol The second is a '62 Hardcab that I imported from Switzerland, it was a military airport firetruck. The third is a '68 Swiss troop transport that had less than 800 original KMs when I imported it. Still had the molding nubbins on the original tires! It's got about 6k KMs on it now.
