    Thanks again guys. So my plan is to make this a truck a truck I can cruise around town in. I've been digesting as much info as I can in preparation. (I wish I had more pics but truck is 250 miles away and I wont be towing it home until mid November.) First off I'm decently mechanically inclined (with mostly bolt on type of stuff). I had a F150 with 375,000k on it and never once wen to a mechanic. I have access to welders, torches, and other metal fab equipment. Couple generic questions:

    1. I'd like to swap the axles to 8 lug and the consensus is go with axles out of CUCV. What type of modifications are needed to accomplish this?

    2. 24v vs 12v what is the better way to go?

    3: Power steering, my girl is a jeep girl and would love to drive this. How difficult to fit it with power steering?

    Sorry for the questions that you've probably answered many times.

    Thanks again

    1. Research your axles and decide if you want to remain "Spring-Under-Axle" like OEM to keep it low...... this is definately more labor intensive to do.... (I am doing Spring Under Axle conversion also)

    2. Depends on your accessories... the 24v system made it this far.... If you want to tack on alot of stuff...or if your wiring harness is in dire straights.. .definately affect the decision.

    3. Power steering is one of the easier things to do to these trucks... multiple boxes are a bolt in affair.... google M715 power steering and majority of threads on the zone will pop up first telling the secrets.


    Nice looking truck!
