Just found my dream Sandman

[wbute]

Don't quote me but I think the old WW2 jeeps had Dana drive line. Absinth would know. Old fashioned.... Didn't realise they had a set up like that in over landers.
Must have been a tough decision to sell that one tonner HK.

Lots of stuff had Dana gear. Jeeps, Chev, GMC, Ford. Even Volvo, the diffs guys use out of Volvos for old Holdens are Dana from memory.

I sold it as they aren't that comfortable, tonners and utes have no leg room. It was also underpowered, needed at least a 350ci engine and it had no aircon. I replaced it with a Cross8. Overlanders aren't that good as a 4x4 either, they suffer from the same problem as Hiluxes with front leaf springs, the leafs are too short and don't walk very well. I know they are collectable but you'd be far better off with a Holden body on a late model Patrol chassis with rear leaf springs, with TH400 or 4L80E and Hilux transfer case. Just as bulletproof and far better suspension, and still get the benefit of 1 tonne load capacity and legal 3tonne towing.
