Default Re: ‘39 Merc All Terrain Vehicle???

From the historic information I've read on MH conversions, they liked to do the Fords better than the rest since they were easy to modify. They cut the axle bells on a standard Ford rear axle and installed their own constant velocity joint steering set up to make a front axle for 4WD conversions. They liked the 11-inch clutch and the T9 transmission too. It would be interesting to see what sort of transfer case they used on the light duty applications in the mid 30s and up to the war years. They made a lot of their own stuff for those conversions.
