thanks for that
I was told that the rover fc101 was the same/similar as my jeep but there clearly not.
and as i thought any military club would have nothing as it is not old enough.
I'll keep searching.

i've never seen or even heard of a jeep FC but after a quick bit of research, they look like an interesting vehicle... Congrats on having one ... hope to see it out on the street one day :armsup:

You probably should contact the Military Jeep club... they had their annual swap meet at canungra a month back.

i have contacted them, as well as other like it, but its not old enough.
there realy rear in australia i spoke to the historic commercial vehicle association at the cleveland show grounds earlier this year most there had never heard of one and when i told them my plans they didn't want to know me as they said it should stay standed i saved it from going to scrap so any thing from there is an improvment. if i build it i want to use it whats wrong with a LPG dedicated SBC t400 in a work truck with 35's, and an crew cab so i have a back seat.

at present it runs 31's spoa dana 44 front and dana 70 with 4.88 it has a ford 250 pre cross flow, no sincro 3sp dana 18 transfer the weakest link is the transfer and the 3sp sux it has a similar wheel base to a gq and wieghs around 1700kg so a sbc would do it justice.
