Hi, I'm a newbie! (sort of)

Hi Phil,

thanks for the information, nice story. What rear gear are you using?

The caltrac setup make this thing hook hard. Real cool and unique build. These little trucks are very rare here in germany, if i find a decent Dodge D50 / Mitsu Mighty Max some day i´ll build something similar

thanks,

Yes, the torsion bar set up we have is similar to the MOPAR set up and works very well in tandem with leafsprings...even before the Caltracs were installed. We are using an AMC M20 (also called a Dana model 20 sometimes) rearend out of an AMX. So far so good. It seems to be plenty strong...only downside is that they don't make a pro gear for it.

Yeah, a Dodge D50 would be an interesting build for sure!! I'd like to see that!
