So my buddy buys a 1972 commando. It was someones restore project that failed. It's rough. He bought it for the transmission to replace the one is his plow truck. Anyway, when we go to pick it up the seller had parts made for this thing and its mostly complete (besides the floors). Well what do you do when you when you get a couple hours and its nice out? slap it together and stick a boat tank in it and joy ride out back for a few hours.
I'm amazed at the stuff it actually went thru. As ugly as it is it still is fun. We will be pulling the motor and trans soon. If you guys know anyone that would like to buy the rest of the thing let me know. I don't want to cut up the ugly duck. Ohh yea, if you do buy it- sorry about the mud. |

No. I thought the title would be funny. No really.
Anyway. Some parts that came with it. Ask your friends if they need the ugly duck. |

What's your asking price? I have spare transmissions and transfer cases. No worries there.
