VC3 - VC4 Questions
Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2006 4:57 am
Hi All,
I need VC3 / VC4 questions answered. Ernie Baals Jr was nice to provide me some info a month or so ago. I have found a restorable VC closed cab. A few questions, some of which Ernie answered, but I now need a refresh on. Someone put a dodge 1 ton rear end under this truck years ago. Questions... 1st, can I use a half ton wc rear end to replace the 1 ton rear end ? Ernie tells me the rear end on a VC is more similar to a 39-40
1/2 ton standard Dodge pickup. Will the WC 1/2 ton 4x4 rear end work ?
If not, why not. What is the differential gear ratio on a vc ?
Question 2... What is the light ( not gross ) weight of a VC closed cab ?
Question 3.... What is the wheelbase ?
Question 4.... What is the overall total legnth ?
MOST important question 5.... Does anyone have a set of 5 VC wheels AND a VC rear end they would be willing to sell or trade off ? I can trade on Power Wagon parts, an M100 trailer with a military 5kw Hobart generator with Hercules 4 cyl flathead motor, or an M416, or combo of above with cash.
Thanks in advance, Bob Stopka, MVPA # 3986, 850-624-6319
