Pete M Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 But since we're dreaming, I say go for it, but how about powering it with the 7.3l diesel? Why not? I'll just drop it on a superduty frame and go. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrusty Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 :hijack: I once dropped a 2 door plymouth reliant onto a 1/2 ton chevy 4x4 frame. God that thing was stoopid looking. Had a pontiac v6 for power and 40 inch ground hawgs. High range was absolutely useless. :hijack: .......and we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

CEThomas Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why not get a REAL SUV 73 IH Travelall :cheers: You can tow a house with one. Just make sure it's green with the wood panelling , large black racing stripes on the hood and twin trucker II CB antennas on the west cost mirrors :yes: And I am here to tell you that it's a great babe magnet when you are 16 :rotfl2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 1. I agree 1000% that a Grand Waggy w/out the paneling isn't, well...., isn't a Grand Waggy IMO. 2. Travellalls were definitely cool. 3. Pat, what a buzz kill LOL. "It doesn't make sense blah blah blah". Quite clearly this thread is about "how cool would this be", not "does this make sense". Roll with it brotha! 4. DO IT!!

Pete M Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Personally, I prefer the look of the Cherokees to the GW woodgrain. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 This as close as I could get showing scale and holy cow is the excursion a big vehicle. Even after stretching the waggy by a good 15", it doesn't measure up. :shake: Mostly this means that if I drop the waggy body on a 7.3L ford frame, I'll be shortening the ford frame for sure (excursion has the same WB as a regular cab Superduty). I also scrapped my thought of extending the very back of the waggy. Just too much work for another 6" of storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Pete, the pic of the Excursion was taken several feet closer than that of the Waggy, so it's not apples to apples. At least that's what it looks like to me. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 It does look that way, and I certainly used some less-than scientific methods to get the images close (microsoft paint has drawbacks), but the numbers tell the story: stock Waggy WB: 109" length: 187" my modded waggy WB: 124" (+15") length: 202" (+15") Excursion WB: 137" (+13" more) length: 226" (+24" more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
