Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
It looks like _maybe_ the front sheet metal will fit -- the grill and
the hood. The windscreen and fenders are clearly different.
Someplace around here I've got an article on just what went into the
MT_TUG, but your comment about the cases being different rings a bell.
Some fuzzy voice in the back of my head whispers that one of the rear
axles has an offset pumpkin to allow the drive shaft to pass, but I
might be making that part up.

Someplace around here I've got an article on just what went into the
MT_TUG, but your comment about the cases being different rings a bell.
Some fuzzy voice in the back of my head whispers that one of the rear
axles has an offset pumpkin to allow the drive shaft to pass, but I
might be making that part up.

Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
It looks like _maybe_ the front sheet metal will fit -- the grill and
the hood. The windscreen and fenders are clearly different.
Someplace around here I've got an article on just what went into the
MT_TUG, but your comment about the cases being different rings a bell.
Some fuzzy voice in the back of my head whispers that one of the rear
axles has an offset pumpkin to allow the drive shaft to pass, but I

Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
Hi Lee,
You may see what the stock T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer
look like at: http://www.----------.com/Dana18.jpg Imagine what it would
look like without the aluminum overdrive case on it, then compare it to
the Tug boat's transmissions:
http://i10.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/c8/f8/b2_3.JPG
Reserve not met at fifty six thousand!
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O
