Re: The other guy 1967-72 c50 axle swap

Food for thought:

Do you really need four wheel drive on this rig ???

Where are you going to take something this big that needs 4wd?

Like I said before, I took my old truck back into some pretty rough spots to load logs. The only time I got it stuck was dropping into a sudden soft spot when loaded and trying to get out of the woods.

In the winter before we got a 4wd pickup, I would take off the inside duals and run a set of single tire chains. Even with nothing but the swivel log bunk on the back, it would cut its way miles through pretty deep snow to get in and out of the place where we wintered. (fall and spring anyway; it was snowmobile or skis only for a few months).
