From postal jeep to flatfender.

[TIMMAY!]

Had some good times with the ol’ Mail Jeep, but It was needing quite a bit of maintenance, and It was time for a change. So I ordered a repop flatfender body and immediately chopped it in half….

Parts that remain are the postal frame-4 link front and rear, stroker 6.0 chevy, Th400, 4.3 atlas and other misc stuff.

 

[TIMMAY!]

Stretched the tub 10” in the door, made some rear wheel opening changes, built some exhaust and started seeing how I’m running out of room under the hood really quick…. Even had to notch the throttle body to clear the hood….

 

[TIMMAY!]

Floors are not my specialty…. But it doesn’t have a giant hole in it anymore… so that’s cool. Also figured Id need some shocks

 

[TIMMAY!]

As it turns out… there was not enough room under the hood…. So I stretched the hood and fenders 2”…. Now there’s barely enough room.

 

[TIMMAY!]

Chopped the windshield frame 2” as It just looked too tall to me… started on some sliders.

What body did you go with?

Bitchin, following this on installed currently. Nice work.

Nice work! It's sad to see the mail jeep go away after watching that build at the other place but the flat fender body is definitely a great choice.

What body did you go with?

The md juan? Ordered from quadratec…. I save quite a bit with my wholesale account there. It’s nicer than I thought it would be.

Whats the slot in the slider/rocker for?

Whats the slot in the slider/rocker for?

Basically a handle so I can pick it up off of rocks when it gets stuck.

seriously though, the tub originally had holes there for drainage.

 

[TIMMAY!]

Flatfenderin’ continues. Every time I go to install something, there’s almost enough room. But it’s all fitting… barely… so far

 

[TIMMAY!]

Built a cage, once again, building inside the willys box made things mildly challenging, but with the body stretch I could get the seats a lot lower than the originals, which makes it look less pope-mobile. I feel fairly certain the rear shock mounts are not falling off
