Thanks Guys, the G60 is gettin a disc brake conversion at the moment, Than I am looking into power steering.
The Dodge goes well off road, I did Andersons in Gemy on Boxing Day this year it was pretty wet, came across a Gq with 35'' M,T claws that was really struggling, the look on there face was priceless when the Dodge walked up the bit they had been stuck on!.

Nice Dodge..... Should put the 36's on it. Same stud pattern, or is it 5 lug?

Thanks, I did want to run bigger tires, but the truck is very original and I would have to change a lot of stuff[ I wussed out on cutting the gards]. Its 5 lug, 5on4.5'' the same a Jeep or Nissan Xtrail I am told :? it has 3.55 diffs, and a 22ft turning circle!, it also has heaps of articulation. I have been told they need 6'' of lift to run 35'' tires off road well and that is about the limit for the Dana 44 front diff.
If I find a set of Dodge/Chev Dana 60s , I might go the whole hog :) .
CRUSHU what are you running on that Ford, looks good.

I thought your stud pattern would be 5 on 5.5, same as early Jeep/Ford etc :? Or 6 stud like Chev or Jap cars.

I am running the D44 hp in the front, with 8 lug knuckles, chromo axles, ARB and similar to CTM unis. Tyres are 44 x 21 on 15 x 14 rims. Chev 14 bolt in the rear. 4.56 gears to start with, if it doesn't have enough poke, I will swap to 5.13's.

I was running 3.5's with the 39" tyres before.

cool dodge eugene , I looked every where for one a few years back , closest i found was a power wagon sitting in a shed but was to big , ended up buying a scout & dropping a 360 in it 4.56 gears & 33's .
Bet the 265 goes alright in the nissan . a mate had a e49 spec motor in a cruiser once, was a sleeper on the street & the bush , nothing could catch it!

Hey thanks, I got a Val VG Pacer w/e49 spec 265 in it , the thought had x my mind hhhhmmmmm :lol:
Is that a AMC on Chrysler 360 in the scout?.
Dad had a 89 Grand Cherokee w/360 in it , it went like the clappers!
I am getting a Chrysler 360 built for the RC at the moment.
It took me 3 years to find a RC only ever found one other [too rusty] even looked at a Scout [ good trucks!!].
Hey is that Power Wagon still around?.

Hey eugene ,
AMC 360 slap yourself ;)
nah I'm a chrysler man through & through , have a shed full o'em & a paddock o'spares.
past projects include 12 sec E55, 10sec vj ute 360 on methanol , slick vc regal av gas slant (just had to do it) several other projects awaiting completion ATM.
Having to much fun in the scout to spend time in the shed .
yeh the power wagon is stil sitting in the shed where I saw it last , it's around that late 70's from memory.
Get your engine builder to throw a few "goodies" on the 360 it will go well in ya dodge. :twisted:
