Nick, I think there needs to be a warning attached to certain dio threads advising that viewing may require heavy sedation – the constituents of which bear a remarkable similarity to a Bourbon Chain Toddy. I feel much better now...this was/is a totally smock-gabbing dio aw now I’ve fallen off my chair again

Hi guys - thanks for the positive words and not being too annoyed that I dug up an old post!! As for adding another vehicle or two - maybe someday! But not now, I've got a couple of nearly completed projects on the bench already!! Haha - want to get that done first! The old Dodge with a 383 - wow! That would grind up the tranny in nothing flat! As for my bigger tires, I'm pretty sure that if anyone actually did what I showed they need new axles, leaf spring packs and running gear - add the 383 and certainly!!

Again, thanks to all for the words! Tim - I was out with friends enjoying a Moscow Mule (yes, involves vodka!) when your note came through - perfect timing! Lol

Happy model building!
Cheers
Nick

Some of those old axles were very solid. One of my friends says the early mud boggers would use them (30 years ago?). Off the 3/4 ton. After that it was another military truck that was a donor. Whatever, it look mean and cool.
