A note to Mousey, the colour code 13211 is a dulux color. It was used on PMG vehicles and is red, I have one as a dual cab 353 - under restoration. Keep up this good work.

There is quiet a few dual cabs out there, I've come across a three door (similar to a VW transporter dual cab). There must have been an after market dual cab - the originals had quarter panel windows front and rear, the rear door being near vertical top to bottom - yet I've seen a version that has all front doors and a sloped panel insert - anyone shed some light?

 

Smithy.1, to change your motor from a slant 6 to a 318 v8 did you have to change your (k-frame) chassis rails? i am looking at putting a 360ci chrysler engine in my at4-114 and was curious about the modifications needed. i have a dude lined up to do mod plates and all just need the know how to get the job done.

 

Hi guys,
I have just spoken to another AT4 (114) owner that has done the following...

A power steering conversion using Ford Falcon master cylinder and F100 steering box.
And a front disc brake conversion with rotors from hopperstoppers. He has also done a cummins v8 conversion from a 245 Hemi.

I am speaking to him again on Tuesday 21/06.
I will be taking photos and gathering as much info/part numbers as possible to share with this forum.

Will also update my profile with photos from my own truck restoration.
Cheers, Tony.

 

does this mean the AT4 114 didnt come out with a v8?

 

I don't think the 114 did come standard with a V8. The front leaf springs have sagged on the front of my mates truck from having a heavy V8 and 727 gearbox attached to it. I would think only the 3-10 tonne trucks came with a V8 and an extra leaf spring in front to cope with the weight. The Cummins diesel sounds like a good alternative, but check your front springs first.

Re Tonyat4 observations
Tony were you able to get photos of the Ford F100 steering box installed in the AT4?
If so please post them.
Thanks

 

Hi
I am currently in the process of repairing the cab floor on my Dodge AT4 329 and have found that the rubber bushes that sit on the top of the cab support bracket are in need of replacing. These rubber bushes are cup shaped and sit into a dished out well on the top side of this bracket and then bolted through the support and locked underside with two flat washers and a rubber washer sandwiched between and then secured with a nylon locknut.
Can anyone offer any advice on these bushes.
It would be greatly appreciated
Can anyone also tell me whether these trucks were sent to Australia as a cab chassis's and were then built to an Australian design as both Dodge and International?
Do they have any similarities to some of the US models having for example the same chassis.
Thanks
Alan
