One awesome series truck pics

[ESnyder]

Check out this link from Crozet, VA this past weekend.
The 109 is a 63 owned by a guy named Matt from MD. (England, originally). Truck has later model axels and a diesel engine was all the info I got.
I wasn't there, but a friend was and sent me the pics.

Awesome truck.

Matt's truck is very well built. He was at the NCLR Hollister trip last fall. Here is another shot of it (not my pic).

Isn't that a Tim Cooper build.

That is a sweet truck! Anyone here know the specs?

 

[LRNationals]

that certinally is sweet. whats in there for the dees. 200 tdi? love the SOA too. wish i could have finised my dormi something along those lines but however its off to a new home.

Are those regular parabolic springs?? I am trying to figure out what I want to do with my 109 suspension wise. I was just going to just drop the spring hangers but if a simple spring over like this works with the existing springs then I'll just do that!

How is that working out with no track bar? I wonder if he has any axle wrap.

From what I recall, Matt has a 200 tdi, PS, and SOA with extended front hangers. I don't remember specifically the axle mods, but it is locked and I am pretty sure running the front disc brake converson. Timm Cooper did most of work, and it wheeled flawlessly.

I think it has RRover diffs, maybe full axles?

The guys who sent me the pics were wheeling some pretty serious rigs and they said it did great.

After talking again to the guy that was with him this past weekend, sounds like it has a Salisbury 110 rear axle. Not sure about the front end.

Definitely looks like a salisbury rear, not a rover diff that's for sure. Can't really tell about the front, but looks to be a rover diff.

It's funny.
If someone were to describe them to me, I would hate the idea of the Tim Cooper trucks, but when I see the pics, I dig them.

That's a sweet truck! I got a ton of pics from our club event at hollister hills. I'll see if I can dig up those pics....
Computer isn't uploading the pics, I'll see what I can do.

he had Jim Young's Series trek axles at one point, the front end was extended to put 88" rear springs in the front IIRC.
