looks good man!! nice proyect u got there!
Unstoppable mud machines have tracks.
The ground pressure on mine is only 2.5psi. By comparison a standard D3 has 6.5psi and a low-ground pressure D3 has 4.3psi. It doesn't get stuck, but you might if you jump off in the wrong place and go up to your kneecaps. I dug it down to the undercarriage when my Bobcat got stuck while I was at the lower edge of a field cutting brush. Pushing the Bobcat out I had the tracks completely buried in thick, stinky black swamp yick. It just drove right out of it once it wasn't pushing on the loader had sunk up against. After that, I just carelessly drive it anywhere.
Gotta love the bubble side trucks. My 72 is in worse shape but the paint job leads you to think it's actually kind of a nice POS.
I've got the urge to swap an 8 lug D44 under it and a divorced transfer case.
Keep up the build and give this 39 year old truck the love and abuse it diserves.
