That is a way cool and very rare truck...great find and great to know that they are still out there!!

If you can solve it out in stock form it will be well worth your while in keeping its value high and its driveability acceptable.

If you modify it for modern equivalent driveability reasons....a truck in that 'great original starter' condition will probably depreciate in my opinion.

If it was in poor shape or a 4wd basket case (and many are)...then doing modern change up is probably the way to go.

Either way, very nice truck!!

All good
