    I don't know if my ride is H.A.M.B.able., but i think your forum is great, so i figured i would share my ride. It is almost ready for the road, i will run it through the summer to work the bugs out and then paint it next winter.

    It is a 1948 Willy's Jeep, far from original, but looking to keep the spirit of the Willy's Jeep alive, just improving on the things that need it, like power, brakes, steering, etc.

    Here are the specs:
    Original frame, gusseted, blasted, primered and painted
    Reproduction tub, original fenders, hood and windshield
    Chevy 4.3 carbed from 85 Astro van (new shortblock at some time)
    turbo 350 ****** with a towing converter
    power steering conversion
    Tilt "bling" steering column
    hanging pedal conversion
    new painless harness
    lokar shifter
    Lokar ebrake
    Auto meter gauges
    dana 44 rear 3.73 11" drums
    dana 27 front
    chevy front disc brake system
    dana 20 t case
    tom woods cv shaft
    74 CJ 5 lowback seats ( JY find, in great cond)
    Warn 8274 winch
    home built exhaust, magnaflow muffler
