Stude M5 build
Hey, I'm new here and want to share some pictures of my current build. It's a 48 I got in Nevada with the usual truck rust areas, but pretty good considering it's age. I got it with no drive train or interior. I decided I wanted a modern chassis so I got a 95 explorer and stripped it down to the frame, sold the extra parts and came out with a free rolling frame with an 8.8 posi, 4 wheel disc brakes and torsion independant front suspension with rack and pinion. The track and wheel base were very close to the original truck, just has to cut the back of the cab opening a little wider to get it to sit down on the frame.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
