very interesting and attractive conversion, but I had to cringe a little when I saw holes drilled in the rear fenders to attach mudflaps.....

With all the modifications to this vehicle the holes in the fenders are insignificant.

LOVE IT. I'm putting a 2.4L mercedes diesel in my '31 delivery.
I know what you mean. I didn't even want to drill holes for my right side tail light!!

Does anyone make brackets for the mudflaps?

Thanks for posting, very interesting to see!
My mother had one of those diesel Jeep's when I was a kid, ran good and very efficient. It ran circles around my father's diesel ranger. Very interesting choice of power unit, and appears to be a clean install. I really appreciate seeing it done neatly!

the tail light is far more justifiable in my mind than mudflaps, but on the two occasions when I did install a RH tail light it was not an easy decision to take.....

Come on weather tech.... we need some no drill mudflaps!! That diesel install definitely looks like a clean one. Nice job!

Not sure what the big deal is over mud flaps, holes can be closed up. Snyder's even sells them;

I would have thought the sticking points would have been the fuel tank and exhaust stack in the bed! I give it a thumbs up other wise and is something if I had enough money would consider doing, oh wait I have but lack funds.

Thanks for taking the time to post those! That looks like it's going to be a very sanitary installation. I like it.

Very nice install! Looks like it was made for the A.
