November 29th, 2008. If you guys are really looking for business, there are a lot of Swiss Army Unimogs S404.114's around needing new cab roofs and bed covers. They used 18OZ or equivalent military OD Green CAnvas, the same as the Vietnam War era M35's, and no one makes one yet in...

October 30th, 2008. Dear TIE6044: They may be small compared to the deuces, but they can frequently go places that neither the deuce or the HMMWV can go! They're just slower on the road and more agile off the road. I own both types, a 1963 Swiss Cargo Unimog S404.114 gas with...

October 25th, 2008. If you need any snaps for the cab posts, just check your local upholstery or auto top place, they will have them for a reasonable sum as they are still used on civillian vehicles also. Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan 1971 Kaiser Jeep...

October 11th, 2008. Pity it's too big for an S.404.114, besides which mine doesn't have any of the hydraulics! The Swiss were just too cheap to go that distance...... and we get about 2" of snow down here and I get to watch the Texans do demolition derby.... flatland style. A...

October 11th, 2008. Rustier then the average Swiss S404.114, but if it runs it will cure you of a lot of those pansey type Hummers, Jeeps and such, as this bad boy can go places a HMMWV can't go, only it's much slower.... The cab and bed paulins are the pain to fix, and I'll bet...
