I picked up this '81 FSJ Waggy for a rediculous deal ....... I'm thinking of an axle swap to the Heep and selling off the rest..... but the twisted part of me wants to go back to the 'Springs and snatch up that Comanche cab, mount it on the frame of this thing and let Led go to town and create a jungle-gym all around it....... :D Here's why:

Rear D60 with Moser 35 spline shafts and Moser diff cover, spool w/ 4:10's

Front HP D44 narrowed to use stock Waggy shafts, inner "C's" rotated a few degrees, Chevy flat top knuckles, high steer arm, EZ Locker w/ 4:10's

It also has custom long spline front and rear driveshafts W/ 1330 joints - I imagine one or both may work in the Heep depending on their lenghts.....

However...... check out the frame mods:

Pretty cool rear shackle disco arms

Front shock hoops with Rancho 9000's

And it has a front shackle reversal that was very nicely done.

It has an AMC 360/727/NP208 combo, but the engine has a busted piston.

But...... I really should just swap the axles and not look twice at that frame.....

I'll sell off the drive shafts, spring packs, shocks, a full size spare, front and rear bumpers, a nice Holly 4bbl, Edelbrock fuel pump, Edelbrock shorty headers, an extra D44 or model 20 EZ Locker, and the Swampers/Crawler wheels from it. :D

hrrmmmmmmm :D
if I wasn't sinking every nickel into my other project I'd ask how much for the crawlers and D44 locker.

Uh, hmmmm, yeah. I don't think you live far enough out in the styx to have that many projects at once...especially ugly ones that wouldn't fit in the garage.

Good score on the axles.
