Operation- Honey's Gone

We got her a cool project to play around in so I'm not the only one to get all the waves and thumbs up's! It's 100 % hers and all choices are hers, i'm just the labor on this one! LOL

 

BEAUTIFUL machines!

 

Actually it has 4.30s in it, and I get away with it because of the 6 speed Clark trans. Yes, that's the Original Braden PTO winch, and there is a twin on the rear frame rails and front bumper tucked in tight. I got it this way ironically! The truck is all stock except for the engine and trans, it has a Cummins ITB 3.9 Turbo Diesel and 6 speed Clark strait gear trans ( with over drive) and the transfer case is a newer NP 205 with the lower low gear conversion.

 

Thanks, I have a thing for old American Trucks. Next projects on my list are a 41 Dodge Power Wagon Half cab, and 50 Willies Pickup!

 

They did Bruce. A guy in the tri cities I used to know way back had one.

@Ura-Ki you have some SWEET iron my friend. My hats off and some serious envy goin on here

 

I love those, Also the Command cars, Really neat rigs! Pretty much ANY THING DODGE from WW-2 on up through the late 50's
BTW, you can still order a brand spankin new square nose Power Wagon circa 1950's? Yup, Dodge still produces them on a small scale for any one who wants one, They fetch about 100K, but.............It's a Brand New frickin Power Wagon!

 

This is my next build, after I finish off the wife's jeepster. Swiped off the inner webs, Mine looks like the wrong end of hell.

 

Thanks for the Rum n Coke!
While you're out, pick up a cheap china crescent wrench for each tube you're going to put away.
Set the wrench to fit the size of the square head on the screw caps you will be using. After everything is finished coat the wrench in cosmoline and vac seal it. Put that bag in a couple of zip loc type bags then after you place the tube in the ground duct tape the wrench to the top so it won't move when you fill in the cache. This way when you uncover the cache you have a wrench that will fit the cap and that is already set to the proper size in case moisture gets to the wrench and seizes it up. It's cheap insurance. If you need the cache, you will probably need it in a hurry

 

There's a guy outside Jackson Hole, WY that does old Power Wagon restorations & mods. Beautiful machines, just don't look at the price tags. He did a 6x6 mod that was shown on Jay Len's Garage.



Your resto looks amazing btw.
