Yellow: 1978 Jeep Corporation - Custom crew cab 4 x 4 Monster pick up
with dump bed, rear steering, winch, and suicide doors
SHOW QUALITY- This is a custom build complete truck starting from a Military Deuce and ½ - M35A2 Jeep Corporation 2-1/2 ton truck. The base truck was overhauled by the military, as everything had been replaced or changed on the drive train ie: engine, transmission, all the axles and transfer case. This truck has 4000 miles and less than 50 hours on the engine. The engine is a turbocharged multi - fuel diesel, and therefore will run on anything. This engine will run on any flammable liquid—tequila, regular gas, heating oil, Chanel #5, used engine oils, diesel, trans fluid, jet fuel, alcohol, and kerosene.Vehicle Description — Crew cab 4 door 4×4 rear steer
This is a “one of a kind” truck. And you won't find anything like it. All new fabricated cab and top making it a 4 door truck with (suicide doors). Engine is the Hercules LDT- 465-465 ci turbocharged model. Tires are mounted up on a custom 20″x10″ wide, bolt together, 2-piece military type wheels. The tires stand a full 46″ tall which will bring the top speed of the truck up to 70 mph and it will cruise at 65 mph nicely. Air power steering, for ease of steering, snorkel for the air cleaner for better mud and water protection. The truck parts and frame were sandblasted, and then primed using epoxy primer and epoxy paints. There is over 10+ gallons of paint used on this truck. The interior has all been redone including sound insulation. The windows are tinted glass, not a film. It has the 5 speed overdrive transmission, with the two speed transfer case and air shifted front axel. This truck has been built right and it will last a long time. I have complete build pictures from start to finish. There are thousands of man hours in this truck getting it to where it is now. The pictures do not do this truck justice; it is truly a one of a kind truck. Equipped with a 10 ton PTO driven front winch.
