Figured I'd throw this one out early . . .
And for those of you wondering, Tar Baby was the Waggy's name. So, where the 401 goes, so does the name.
I thought I had this build figured already, till talking to OG tonight.
It was going to be a flattie tub/Postal floor boards (the flattie has 1/4" diamond 'boards now), Postal frame, F/R D44's, 401, 3spd, D20
Now I'm thinking about using the OldGreen-5 frame (stock V-8 chassis), 401, TH400, D300, 3/4 D44 Front, 14 bolt Rear, and undicided on the body.
Long term build: Tar Baby II

Put the body from Sveta's Jeep on it, then round file all the discards, as well as the parts of them postals you don't use 
That'll free up some room for something else

It may outlast you 
I have nothing but the utmost respect for that jeep, just for lasting as long as it has! Ask Jim, I drive like an a$$! 
But really, have you looked at the price of YJ's lately? What I would get out of it wouldn't replace it, from the stand point of a good donor body/frame. 'Cuz ya know none of the stock drivetrain would stay in it!

FWIW, the following items are NEVER to be associated with "flattie", "flatty", "phlatty", "Willys", "Willyz", or any other term referring to the CJ-2A/3A/3B and/or M38:
* V8
* 3/4 ton
* 14Bolt
* TH400
Lashings for such slander shall be divied out by me personally in appropriate quantities...
