    Default 1971 Series IIA 88" Merc TD project

    Due to unforseen circumstances, I am going to try and sell my 1971 Mercedes Turbo Diesel IIA 88" project.
    Below is a partial list of the items this includes:
    New Galvanized Richards Chassis
    Mercedes 5 cyl. Turbo Diesel that had approx 212K when removed. Lower pan modified to clear axle
    Mercedes 240D flywheel neutrally balanced
    Correct Flywheel bolts
    Brand new 240D clutch Kit
    Brand new slave cylinder
    Fully Rebuilt NP435 Transmission
    Custom NP435 Main shaft
    Engine to Trans adapter plate
    Series stock Transfer case
    Transmission to Transfer case adapter plate
    New Parabolic Springs
    New Military Shackles and hardware
    New Pro-Comp Shocks
    Toyota FJ62 Axles with 4.11 gears
    Toyota brakes
    Toyota power steering box
    All series body panels including radiator support, bulkhead, rear tub, top and doors.
    New Brake lines

    The hard work has been done. This truck needs someone who can finish it. It is currently a rolling chassis with drivetrain mounted. Not looking to part the truck, please inquire via pm if serious, I check this site several times a day. I will work on getting some pictures added. Asking $6500.
    Truck is located in East Hartford, CT 06118.
    Thanks

    Even though he's only 20 minutes away, I doubt I'll have time. I'm pretty busy in the sugarhouse this time of year.

    I want to say thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my project. After taking another hard look at the situation, I have decided that I cannot sell this project now. Something else will have to give.
    See you on the trail (someday).

    Awesome!

    Why don't you make a list of other series junk you have that you aren't going to use and post that up for sale?

    Glad to hear it!
