It's here
Well the Mercedes I plan to dismantle for the turbo diesel 6 cylinder for my F2 is now at my home. The guy I bought it from stated that it has a bad transmission and would not shift out of 1 gear. Not sure what his problem is, but I drove the car through all it's gears just fine yesterday. Now I almost hate to part the car out since everything works on it.

Otto, I would be willing to bet you could transplant the IFS and IRS to the truck too if you want to.

BACAGrizz, I had thought bout using the rest of the MB as well. But I have decided to try and keep the soul of my F2, an F2. I plan on keeping the front straight axle, but updating to disc brakes on it. I will be updating to a D60 in the rear. Thus keeping it 8 lug style wheels.
Moreover the truck was originally a non-synchronized 3 speed with a flathead straight 6. I plan on using a MB 5 spd and the MB turbo diesel straight 6.
I think it will be cool trying to stay close to it's heritage as possible, as I have not seen many F2's on the road.

jbrittonjr, yes I have the disc brake set up I need for my front axle. I got the information off of FTE. I will be using mid 80's Dodge dully rotors, and I have the mounting plates and calipers off of my old 1976 F350 2wd. I also have a Toyota power steering box off a early Toyota 4x4 (straight axle).
