Thought I'd share some pics of my latest project . Started with a 65 f100 with bad sheet metal,found some new in box hmmwv top kits with doors for cheap. scratch built the body to correct Humvee dimentions and bolted it to the ford frame.

Second pic is after the 4x4 conversion with 78/79 f250 dana 44 front and dana 60 rear axles. also added a np435 and a np205 set up so front and rear drive shafts are same length. Went with leaf springs and a Saginaw steering box from a mid 70's dodge.Probably the only slick Humvee in existance One bonus of this build is a 65 f100 lwb has almost the same wheelbase as a Humvee.
Thanks for the positive comments.Here's some more pics.

I welcome all comments good or bad. Being a lifelong slick fan I still miss the truck I took apart to build this Humvee,but another side of me really enjoys building odd things that not a lot of people are into.
The months may change, but I am always APRIL '63 F100 Custom Cab 223inline 6, 3speed manual- mostly stock https://www.youtube.com/coastiereid Truck has been home in CA,OR,WA,NJ,VA since it's birth in San Jose Jan63
Thanks for the comments. Jason ,I'll try to find some more pics ,may have lost them. Foodstick ,the hood ,winshield frame and top kit are factory Humvee ,I fabbed just about everything else on the body.
Probably could fit a cmp cab on a slick frame. Looks like a e250 van would be a better donor. Are there plenty of ford cmp's left in your area ? The one you posted looks like a chevy made version.

Yeah sorry about the Chebby CMP, but it was a small pic that I chose it on....... and no there aren't many around here, there's an old guy with a nice restored one and a few rusted hulks, we have even less e250 vans ... actually none !
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!! 66 f100 tabletop swb 351 Clevo C6 "Beryl"
