    Don't ask, just do. Make it a 10 part video series. Also, you could easily find some axles and change those out since it's leaf springs.

      The TFL guys don't have enough technical knowledge to do a 10 part video series. I mean they couldn't explain enough of the details to fill 10 videos. They barely got through a carburetor removal and cleaning on the old/new Honda.

      This would be stupider than buying a Cybertruck.

  • @xVikXtorx
    @xVikXtorx Před 23 dny +10

    Yes, all new drive line, including axles and brakes. That way you can source parts here in the US and do maintenance yourself. You'd have to tilt the rear axle pinion to get the driveshaft angle right, which is fine since you need custom perches anyway.

    • @lisam4503

    The question really comes down to how much do you love it and want to keep it Andre. If it's something you really want to keep and hang onto for a long time, do it.
    I would absolutely watch this video series. It would be cool! Plus you're making this vehicle way more reliable as well. It would be the bread truck that really hauls the mail! 😂
    I see some people here saying swap in a Cummins or something of that nature. You're missing the point. They got this 4.8 for free. Plus, while a Cummins is reliable, they are super heavy! Not ideal for this truck. Even a baby 4BT is still heavy. Plus getting it to 70 would be a bit of a challenge. The 4.8 would be more than enough.
    I feel like that analogy of Andre comparing himself to an LS swapped Buhanka is so on point. From Russia but he has the heart of a true American.

    How to Americanise a Soviet era icon. It sounds like an excellent idea and ultimately expensive in time and fabrication. But I like seeing David in action. He's a pragmatist because he reduces waste, reuses and recycles what he has onhand. I'd watch the entire series which maybe ten or more videos. Maybe find a sponsor or sponsors for the entire series. Good luck!

    The question is not, would someone watch it? Because, "if you post it, they will watch it". The question comes down to how much $$$$$ and time do you want to dump on this? And IF you start it, will you actually finish the project? Cannot remember all the videos that never had a conclusion. The presenters here are easy to watch. The project is like art, everyone will have a different view on it. I don't particularly find this idea grand. Even though it would take more than a grand to cover the costs. "Classics" that are "restored" and or brought back to life to run the way they were meant to, that is more interesting to me than conversions. This van was never supposed to be a highway runner.(apparently) Just a local run about. Workers van. Do as you will. Seems like most people in the comments support just about anything you do tho. :)
