Mudness
Hi all, a long time ago I posted here looking for information/ parts to complete the restoration of my WWII 3/4 ton Dodge Weaponscarrier.
Well, its finally complete (are they ever really finished?) and I am looking for another project. Considering the amount of country the readers/ contributors of this
forum cover each year, I thought it might be a good place to start. I would be interested in anything WWII vintage, jeep, studebaker, blitz etc or even another Dodge. Ive hopefully included a link to some pics of the Dodge so as you all know what they look like, just in case you come across one. They came in several different body configurations but the front sheet metal looks the same on all the 3/4 tons (some did not have the winch on the front). So, if in your travels you happen to see something that you think may be of interest to me, I would really appreciate an email. My email is "lisaandbruce@dodo.com.au" thanks in advance and happy travelling

G'day Mudness,
Great job, is it for practical use or just something to do? Sound like you've got a great workshop and itching to use it.
Once again great work and all the best.

Thanks Beatit, and others for you responses, She's more for show than go. I have had it out camping a few times but they are a bit wide for most rough tracks (don't want to scratch the paint :) that's what the 80series is for), and at 8mpg shes pretty thirsty, but it sure turns heads.

I take it that the 80 could also be a work of art if the truck is anything to go by.
Kind regards
