I thought I would share a link to my Powerwagon never ending project "Tank" since I am fairly new here.

looked at your pics. what is your steering setup? some sorta hybrid char lynn valve thing ? did / does it work well? like that truck !

edit: nevermind i see thats the stock style assist. is it not that desirable? i know the mustang units werent that great. thanks

Whole set-up works perfectly and been on there for a good 7 years now, and work this truck hard in the mountains. Just an extra plus is I use to wear out steering boxes due to my 35" tires and no more. All Mopar except ram too

Thanks for asking

Thank you

Do you have your '67 R/T on the road?
I'm about ready to take my first drive with
mine this spring.... Hope all is well.

R/t

Hey John, yes I drive it allot even today to work. :)

Just built a new solid lift 440 for it as 426 was tired. Still running 2 Carters on so it kinda looks the same except Eddie heads now and HP manifolds instead of headers. It runs like a top.

Hope you get yours out soon John. Ours cars were pretty close to being twins from what I remember.

Good to hear Andy. Our cars are very similar indeed.

Beautiful truck, with an appropriate name.
Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
I would like to know more information about your braking system if you would have time to share with us?

Thanks for the compliments Mathew.

My front brakes are the stock `95 Dodge ones that came with the front 60 axle, I just rebuilt all the components. I like the king pin idea for it strength so I search along time for this particular axle.

My old ones were a home brew setup on a 44 axle to fit inside a 15 wheel and worked well for many years but were do for a rebuild and I decided it was time to upgrade axle size anyway.

The rear brakes a stock drum with an axle out of a `65 W200, I used that one because it had a sure-grip already in it. I actually bought a beat up trailer converted from an `65 Swepty bed because I saw this axle being used under it. $100 buck score :)

Hope that answered your question but if not ask away :)
