I will be putting up new episodes as work progresses, each episode will get updated as more work happens.

Episode #1- Acquiring the Unimog
Episode #2- Frame work
Episode #3- Body Work v1.0
Episode #4 - Body work v2.0

Episode #5- Drivetrain - coming soon

A quick overview of the project:
I am taking the chassis, tranny/t-case, suspension, axles, wheels, and tires from the unimog, and the motor, cab, bed and ony other parts I need from the Nissan, and kind of kitbashing them together.

So I will either end up with:

A Unimog, that has nice seats, legroom, a nice stereo, A/C, heat, and about 175hp.

or

A Nissan pickup with an 6-speed tranny, mechanical diff locks, torque tube suspension, 37" tires, 17" of ground clearance, and all the gear reduction I could hope for.

 

Here is a pic from the 1st body test fit.

Here is a side by side comparison of the trucks.

Here you can definately see the difference in ground clearance.
