Ok, so I've done the search, read all that I can about it, I CAN'T FIND PICTURES OF ONE ANYWHERE!!!!!!
I would like to see some pictures of good model 20 truss', so that I can build one for it. I don't wanna buy one of those cheapo bolt on deals, I am gonna make one that I can weld up while I weld up the tubes and spider gears.
If I get flamed.......

why didn't you grab all the running gear from the waggy you stole the engine from?

If its a waggy or J-truck 20 dont bother. Now if its a CJ 20 then start welding.

Well, when I bought the Jeep I wasn't even sure how to tell the difference between a CJ-5 and CJ-7. I bought it out of a mud hole with no engine or tranny, I went to a junk yard and pulled the best AMC engine I could find. I had no clue that the axles would have been a good steal. Had I known then, I would havle at least grabbed the front axle.

Very cool, thanks guys. That bolt on truss looks hefty, but you can't beat the price of a couple feet of tube.
