I used to buy a lot of Dodges at GSA auctions. I have the remains of a W350 stake truck that had 6000 miles on it that I drove home from Idaho. Paid $450 for it LoL On it's rear flat bed were 6 new in the crate Dana 60 CUCV front axles. Same auction.......so I have a few lbs to shed somewhere...
Oh I could probably drop 10 lbs or so. But then my wife will get all nervous she's not feeding me enough and over cook. If I have calculated correctly...and the Army's numbers are correct...I can drop 300lbs just in the engine/trans/case department. That's a significant chunk. No way the roll cage will weigh 300lbs. Un-sprung weight isn't a big deal but the modern axles are lighter, the OEM military split rims and rubber weigh 140lbs a pop...so I am upbeat this thing may actually weigh less when I am done.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
^^^ Half the stuff????I'd settle for a corner's worth from one of Norm's sheds(Shed the one with 4 walls and a roof, that's leanin' a bit? Do I have that right?)
You guys mean Pitman shafts?
The spline equipped do hicky that protrudes from the steering box Ken. That's what breaks usually LoL

I'm sure one of a dozen or so rigs on your property could handle the transport of the teens to someone else's house for the day. preserve your sanity Norm. Retired farmers' lives matter!
Picture more like Sanford and sons meets American pickers LoL
I personally don't have a liking of the colour choice, but not lookin at the yellow I do like it.
