After aggrivating myself on a search with people who either did not know what they r doing, don't know how to make a buck or lazy or all the above I drug this down the hill.

Here is my clip and crossmember for the next part of the build.
Streatching the frame on my peterbilt chassis 54 in after the drive axle to get my rear platform and hitch where I want it.

Lewbucks ..... zip zero nothing!

Clue....It's got an 8v with a dd3. Another clue, it's a crew cab.

[Joe Camper]

Another clue.

It needed a jump start and the 24v Unimog was the easiest thing to use.

Oshkosh truck of some kind?

Look at the spindle nut LOL. After about 5 min I did start to see a couple drips of oil drop out. I love it here. Good stuff. These r things memories r made of for an aging wrench. Hope u all don't mind me sharing. I'm out here almost entirely alone all week for 12 weeks and I need people to talk to animals only get u so far.

The old Dayton spoke hub and inboard drum is totally scrap metal. But

This has a real good ring to it. Might be a dinner bell for the garage. All it needs is a real unique banger and stand.
