This is my latest project, its a 1951 utility wagon. Its an older restoration and is showing its age but it still cleans up pretty nicely from time to time. It still needs a few loose ends tied up that I hope to get squared away this winter and spring but fortunately nothing too major.

 For anyone interested here's the build specs on it.
4.3 Chevy v6 crate engine
SM465 Muncie 4spd with granny gear
NP205 transfer case
Dana 44 front axle with locking hubs
Dana 44 rear axle with locker
4.11 gears
34 inch Super Swampers
47 CJ2a
225 V6
4 speed
Dana 18 with husky overdrive unit

That’s nice! Always wanted a pickup when I was in high school but never got one. Still think those vehicles are the coolest.

I've always liked the pickups more but as someone who's over 6 foot, 300 pounds there's just no way in the world I'd ever fit in oneLOL

Thats a nice-looking wagon. Would you know what the donor vehicle was for the D44 front axle and how close is it to the width of the original D25? I have a 63 with the Tornado.

The axles came out of a mid to late 70s Scout II. They are both D44's but I don't know how close they are width wise to the 25.
