48 willys mud truck project

nauss · January 16, 2014, 05:05:59 PM

ok guys I am finally getting started on my new body for my mud truck (the great white willy) which has turned out to be more than a body. I spun a bearing in hale so it got a 454 bbc. then since I got a brand new set of 14.9-24 r1's basically handed to me I decided to pick up a set of 2.5 ton rockwells. so its basically gonna be a completey new truck.however I have my hands full as you can see what I am going through right now.
