What about this old trucks? Where are parts for them? Are they a good rebuild vehicle and will it be an everyday driver? I have always thought about overhauling one to drive! Is the six cylinder better than the four? What about body parts? What is the going price?

These old trucks are very cool. I have always wanted to do one of the pre Rhino waggies. The old drive train was definately designed for slower times tho, 4 cylinders and high gearing. Definately not for highway cruising. If your going to restore one, think of redoing the drive train with something more modern, like a small block ford or chevy including axles. As far as the sheet metal, in the older models it is mostly flat or has simple curves so it it easy enough to replace if you have the skill and equipment. Upholstery is prime for customization and if the seat spring bases are good, it can be redone. If you want to do it on the cheap or quickly, take a deep breath, neither are probly a reality. If you dont have a specific vehicle picked out, choose a '63-64 or newer Rhino grill Jeep. There is alot of stuff still available because the basic body was unchanged thru the '80's. Take care and I hope it works out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
