    I would think that you can just cut the motor mounts off of the waggy, lift out motor with mounts still attatched and then set it in the 5's frame and once you get her positioned...weld away. You going to use all the drivetrain from the waggy to put under the frankinjeep...as you have refered to it? I like the idea of turning it into a truck.

    Forgot to post this one. 11 days ago I put a rear "bumper" on from another frame I had. I sandblasted it about 3 months ago and only had red paint. Will paint it black later.

    Picked up, from a friend, one the first sets of 4 inch lift springs for the CJ5, made by Rancho in the '70's. Also got a set of 1 3/4 cross braced shackles.
