Hey guyz. Was it your idea to lean the A pillars like you did? I wonder if it would have looked better if the roof had been cut and an extension piece welded in, thus leaving the A pillars as they were? Just curious.

Thanks bro.
im excited but broke.lol
slow but sure....slow but sure.
Well...After bringin the IH home and settin out on my own..Ive pondered and thought about things and I just wasn't feelin it anymore with the dualls.
The width with the adaptors were just way wider than I liked. Roughly 96-98 inches!
So I kinda went back to the original plan that I had thought of. Here it is!
8 lug 3/4 ton rear from a early 80's Chevy and a set of 2 piece bud military rims 20x12 and a set of 49x15 inch military tires!
The plan is to put a very small bed of sorts and either open wheel it or maybe customize a set of rear fenders??? Who knows but at 81-85 inches wide and 49 inches tall it looks kool! Input welcomed. RR

Looks wicked! I say go for it.
Lots of horsepower and the right gearing, any thing is possible.
I love the way some of the guys here think.
Makes me smile!

I dig it!

You should run a calculator on your gearing.
I ran numbers just for my own curiosity.
1800 RPM
5.10 gears
1.00 trans final gear
49" tire
51.44 mph.
Not bad really considering if you had 3.10's and a 29" tire you'd be at 50.09 mph.
I'd wanna drive this thing just once to see those giant things spinning behind me
