Interesting Article on a Chopped-Down Van
In the latest "Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road" magazine, on page 76, they take a weird old 4WD Ford and chop almost all the metal off above the floor as an exercise in reducing weight.
More interesting to me, though, was the section on the type of 4WD this van had. It's a system wit two small front diffs built by Dana in the '70's, each one running a spool, with the actual diff unit in the transfer case. A "V-Drive" system. No lo-range. Anyway, it was something new for me.
