My Waggon Lives, "will have the guts of another"

Hey everyone,
I am taking my 90 waggoner and converting it from Automatic to a Stick

I had a 727 Transmission and a NP208 Transfer Case

I am putting in a T-18 trans and a 20 transfer

The Doner jeep was a J-20 Truck




The Truck had a lot of other fun parts to fix my jeep up
The Front Fenders and Drives door are a like rusty but I have way better ones now


The replacement Fenders are


I already have the T-18 trans and a 20 transfer in my jeep it was hard but I got it in there now
But I have to put a notch in the Trans because the old trans mount was broke and I put in a newer stonger one

Old Mount

Trans Notch

New Stronger Trans Mount

My jeep with the with a 4-Stick and a Auto on the collum


My jeep with the T-18 trans and a 20 transfer shifter though the floor


The T-18 trans and a 20 transfer under my jeep not a lot of room but the fit


I had to trade the Front axle because the old tranfer case was a drive side drop and the dana 20 is a pass side drop, also that means that I get wider axles

Old Axles New Axles

The jeep moves around now on the front axle only, but it will live again

I also have to still
-trade the front fenders
-trade the front grill
-build a exhaust because my old exhaust went on the passanger side and the dana 20 is really close to the frame
-repair the floor pans ( I let window down a little when is sat so holes in the floor board my bad but will be fixed)
-trade the rear axle out

Problem I have and if any can help plz let me know:

I am longing to move my rear axle back some, I have though of flipping my springs around beacuse the front side if 28 inches and the rear side is 34 inches that would give me about 6 inches more back, also I am thinking of inverting my rear shakle mounts and droping them a bout 2-3 inches to give me a like more lift in the rear, cause my waggon sags a little in ther rear, the reason I am thinking of doing this is becuase The J-20 drive shaft length is like 62 inches long
The 90 Waggons Drive shaft length is like 42 inches long and Right now if I do not move the axle back I will still have to have a drive shaft made, Anyone have any advice on moving a axle?

Anyone know a good place to get a drive shaft done close to Baltimore Maryand? For when I need a drive shaft made later

I would not go through moving the axle. I would get the drive shaft cut or have a new one made. Try A-1 Drivshaft made mine, better price. 1-800-228-0356. Also check this out for a home made shackle flip http://www.coloradok5.com/shackleflip.shtml

x2

and now that Ron must be on new meds you can talk to him now.

All of that and he forgot to mention the members who have helped him, what a bummer. Just teasing.

Thansk to Mark and Paul for all of the reasearch to find the correct flywheel and the J20 truck.

Thanks to Paul for the Haul.

Thanks to Mark for the axle for the J20 Bed that will be for sale soon, has a great tailgate. New 2" hitch so it will function like a trailer.

And of course the his Pit Crew who has parked his new truck on the street for too long.
