Yo! Well,...what they put out in that pasture was a beat '78 Chev 3/4 ton 4x4 equipped with a 350 V8, NP203 (full time 4x4 t/case), and GM corporate axles. Nothing great. The only nice piece of machinery in the truck was the TH400 tranny. I combined the newer truck and tranny with the older 4x4 axles and a machined, twin stick NP205 t/case. The V8 build has been proven in my Camaro, so I just built another one!
This truck just needed the proper combination of components to be something other than a mediocre 4x4.
Thanks for your appreciation, all! Todd.
