All this talk about de-milled firearms got me to
thinkin'.
The Jeep MBs that you see for sale go for $8,000 to
$23,000, they are just out of my price range, so I
went out into the cold and measured up a 1980 CJ7
frame that I have sitting on some old rims. The frame
is 29" outside to outside on the front frame rails and
36" outside to outside on the rear frame rails.
I think an MB frame is 29" on both ends but the wheel
houses are both 36" across so I could use the CJ7 rear
ends with the disk brakes and the wheels should fit in
the wheelhouses. I would just have to shorten the
frame so that the wheelbase is 80". I could
use the hydraulic clutch and the duel master cylinder
for the brakes. I have a Chevy 151 with a 4 speed
trans, the 151 is 19" from the center of the motor
mounts to the top of air cleaner, so that should fit
under an MB hood.
Have any of you ever tried to do this?
