4bt nv4500 axle swap ect

[southdave]

Ok
my 1009 project is hopfully raping up this month. My attendion is turning towards m37 I have had for awhile..
the parts I have accumalated so far are as follows
4btcummins- still have to pay for
Nv4500 I have couple 2wd and one 4x4 with 241 tacse
a set of axle axles out of 74 one ton gmc
bunch of crap from the 2 cucv project I have done..
the plan is throw it all at the truck a see what sticks .

Get a CUCV chassis & drop the M37 sheetmetal on top... it'll be a quicker project.

All those parts will make a nice little runner M37! The 1009 however, concerns me a little about its description.

1009 keep eating engines lol ...I believe I got this one right

I will get the axles swaped out next time home as soon as get the U bolt thing figured out and made.. I will then post some pic.. I hoping the 8 bolt m998 rims will kind of balance the stance of wider axle.. as for the speed tanner I like the misery of a project, I have a disease
Actually I was seriously concerning that, after some friends an dcouple case of beer convinced me just keep the frame and get on with. plus the 4bt cemented the direction..
My biggest issue now is finding a Chevy cummins Flywheel..
