New Rig for the Fatman

Finally sealed the deal today, I bought a waggy in may only to sell it a few days later, This had been setting near where I work for 1yr or so.

258ci NP208 Dana44/AMC20, fresh suspension, warmed over motor, and spare parts

It needs a rear Axle.

I want to do it old school with bias-ply pizza cutters and some HD Steelies, How hard are the sliding/pop-out windows to locate for it and where can I find an AMC20 WT Axle?

Thanks!!:D

Welcome.
Check the sale section here. Always goodies around here. The tech section is a good starting point...

A member from here by the name of Zorm may have the axle you need. He was modifying his narrow track chero to wide track axles. He does alot of road work and may pass by your neck of the woods as well. Last I seen him he had a Dana 44 and CJ Window stuffed into his Dodge Magnum. I added a few wheels,bumper, and other goodies. He dropped off fenders.
If you want to replace with a stock axle I would get ahold of him.

BY the way.. Welcome

Welcome from down in the flat land.
What year is it? The rear d44's from later-model gw's might work. Not sure if there are mods needed if you are running the NP208. your rearend is centered, right?
I see late model GW's in the 2 u-pull yards down here pretty regularly.

I wish my 78 had the 258/4spd/NP208.

just another option.

Congrats! :thumbsup:

I have a couple sets of side windows with the pop-out vents, complete with seals.
Don't know what they are worth, but let em go cheap though.
PM me if you are interested.
