  1. Cheers for the ideas everyone, Im not keen on the Jag rear end it will mean too much additional work on the chassis to get cert, ill likely try a holden rear end however the jeep might be an option too but not as available over here, probably still run leafs as im going to use this as a work truck...... And as for the clothing options thats pretty standard attire in NZ !!!! Bloody hot in my workshop haha. (the proper stuff goes on for the big welds and yes have a few burns here and there)
  2. Hi again, Im part way through the rebuild of my B3 pickup im about to fit a Jaguar IFS front end (has anyone done this before?) Also who can tell me about the original diff? I may swap out for a holden LSD but was wondering just how strong the old one was? Looks like im putting a 318 Magnum engine and trans from a dodge 1500 in, so i presume the original diff will last 5 mins with this in front of it... Someone told me it was the same diff they used in the plymouths etc with V8's driving them so thought if this was true i wouldnt mind re using the original!! Pretty sure this will be the only one in NZ when im finished!!!
  3. Hello again, 1 year on and im back into it, Ive had to spend alot of time straightening the chassis which was a bit worse than anticipated. Has anyone done a Jag IFS front end swap on one of these? im just about to start fitting one to mine.
  4. I have headlights Yes someone has jammed a tank behind the seat i presume these had a tank under the cab/tray originally? a bit of body work needed to patch the horrible hole they put in it for the filler. Because of the hassle with compliance etc over here i will likely have to change it over to right hand drive so will be looking at putting a Jaguar XJ6 front end or similar in it. Any one done anything similar? Cab will be coming off this week then onto checking chassis for straightness and will likely have to install a K member to stiffen the structure.
  5. Hi all Ive just got my self a 1950 B2 which is going to be a full rebuild from the ground up. Im in New Zealand and information on these beauties is hard to find down here so im glad i stumbled upon this forum!! Just imported from California last year... Excited to crack into it. I have removed the body and just about to pull the old flat 6 out. Ive got a long road ahead and probably heaps of questions im hoping some of you can answer. Some pictures here. Marc
