a4xnut Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 and my dented bed has been getting me thinkin of bobing about 8" out of it, then i was looking through the club as i normaly do and found this sexy beast!! how hard could it possibly be to make! While that's a nice looking bed, it sacrifices some of utility of a pickup. I've always thought a M-715/M-37/Power Wagon (the original) style bed, along with some sheet metal styled front flares could net you a cool mil-spec look that is relatively easy to fab, off-road durable and still pickup functional. Alternately, the more angular style of the front fenders (and OE box) could be complemented by some Willys Pickup styled fenders. A poor-mans Nukizer replica? Perhaps you could call it a MJ-715?

a4xnut Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I just found this thread... http://comancheclub.com/topic/28164-anybody-know-this-mj/ Honest! But that's the sort of look I was thinking... might need to give a little more clearance on the fenders if you have much uptravel though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may end up doing something like this if i do a flat bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4xnut Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 my home made drive shafts! i extended the front one, and used one from an F250 and the stock comanche to make one drive line You've done a lot of nice work there, but that rear driveshaft is out of phase by about 90 degrees. The yokes at each end of the tube should be in the same plane. The front one looks off a few degrees, but that could just be an illusion created by the picture (angle, lighting & depth of field, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
