Thanks again Craig. If I can ask one more question, what vendor could I buy a service manual off of? Or is it more of an eBay item?
Thanks,
Chris.
P.s. thank you for the encouragement!!

: Not sure on a spec page off the top of my head

: Always a first buy item when thinking about
: buying or servicing a FC Jeep. All the
: models with the exception of the DRW have
: common available drivetrain parts. Finding
: the good body to work with is always worth
: the extra bucks.
:
: Good luck on your quest!

: Thank you Craig. I have been looking on fc

: have specs on them? As in gvw and what not.
: Also on the 170 single wheels, are break
: parts shared with any other models?

: You hit the nail on the head! Other than
: the
: typical rust issues, front brake drums are
: non-existent on the DRW's! Rust areas to
: check out are above the windshield, cowl,
: cab corners, floors, drip rails. No
: replacement body parts are available.
: Everything has to be handmade. There are
: some nice body panel build links on the tech
: page of The FC Connection.
:
: Good luck and try to find the best body you
: can!
