How was the drive shaft routed on the floor???? sideways...

If the transmission shifting rods for the typical UC were complicated this arrangement must have been a nightmare...???

Must a been a great vehicle for engaging the enemy during a tactical retreat!!

Just curious.

Default 2 pounder arrangment

the drive line comes straight out of the transmission to to diff by a tail shaft in my carrier

but the original vehicles had a transfer case to the diff so the tail shaft would be straight.

my vehicle runs a diagonal shaft as it does not have a Tcase.
