Frame swap?
I just picked up a 74 Cherokee (360/T-400/Quadra-trak) mainly for the D44
axles and will be driving it home this weekend. Since my frame is cracked, i have another Jeepster frame and will do all the swapping at once, and am considering just putting my engine/trans/ T-case in the chero and swapping bodies. Other than the wheelbase being 9 inches longer than my Jeepster, does anyone know of any pros or cons of the Cherokee frame as compared to a 68 C-101? |

It's not entirely clear, how many vehicles and which type you hope to have
running at the end of this exercise.

My frame will be either the Chero or the spare Jeepster frame i have. Both would be about the same amount of work, just different modifications. |

A Quadratrac Jeepster would be interesting, especially if it had the low range option. Earle |
