Found this down in the desert out of Palmdale, Ca. It sits on Rockwell 2.5 ton axles and is powered by a 360. It also has 4 wheel steering. Someone's crazy idea...
Someday I'll build something with rockwells for some four wheeling. I've been helping one of my buddy's with his 1952 Dodge M37. He put in a '95 12 valve cummins with NV4500 and rockwells with 44" super swampers. Here's a few pictures:

Those rockwells are the holy grail for off road vehicles. They have the gear box on top of the axle so the U-joint stays farther away from the rocks and the bottom pan is practically bullet-proof. Being in the military I've seen lots of those but I couldn't get them. I don't have a vehicle to put them on but if I had them I would get something to put them on quick.

The only thing is there aren't many gear ratios available. Maybe only one and it is very low.
