Mercedes Diesel Wagon 4x4 is a runner

[Brian R]

Last Spring I asked quite a few questions on this forum about a few different conversions I had in mind, including putting a MBZ 5cyl in a Cherokee. I finally decided on a project for the summer and it is now a runner. I took a 1981 Mercedes 300TD turbo diesel station wagon, removed it's suspension and put it on a 1984 Nissan 4x4 King Cab chassis. I used the divorced Nissan transfer case. I have driven the car on the freeway and am currently chasing a vibration associated with the shaft I made to couple the transmission to the transfer case. I tried to post a picture but got an error message saying the file size is too big. If anyone has a way I can post a few pictures somewhere, let me know.
