					model 25  	(partial)
			        wagoneer	j10		chero chief	 
=========================================================
wheelbase		    108.7		118.7
overall length 		183.5		192.5
overall width		75.6		78.9		78.9
overall height		66.7		69.3		67.6
front tread		    59.4		63.3		65.4
rear tread		    57.8		63.8		62.3
turning dia.		37.7		40.6		39.4


j10 vs. wagoneer - 10 inches longer wheelbase
		   -  9 inches overall longer
		   - ONLY 3.3 inches wider
		   -  3.9 inch wider front track (1.95 in/side!)
		   - 6 inches wider rear track (3" more)
		   - 2.9 feet wider turning radius... (a little 
				less than the sidewalk... works for me... :)

So, if I take the front end from my 77 wagoneer and put it on
what may someday be my 76 J10, and I switch front fenders as well,
shouldn't be a problem  (or a 2" problem with the spring pads... :)

So, if I leave the rear axle on both rigs (both are 3.54) I should
have no problems that way, and will improve the turning radius and
looks of the J10 with the wagoneer front end. :)

ttyl,
