Hi gang,
I have a 68 GMC 1/2 ton 2wd Panel and looking to figure out what way to go with it. I have 73-87 4x4 axles/transfers, both 1/2 & 3/4 ton. Other than the rear spring perches, will they bolt in on my Panel? Thinking that 4x4 is the way to go - that way I can drive her year round. Not sure what the original rear diff ratio is. Started life as a 3ott 6 cylinder. Maybe the easiest fix is a matching front diff.
Love my Panel, and can't wait to get going on it but info seems to be thin on them.

ANY direction/comment would be welcome....

Was it a target or are those the fake bullet holes....I like the idea of a 4x4 panel

Hey Ol Blue K20,
THOSE are Hollywood bullet holes - my panel was used in the Movie, "Thinner". Still got the 'charge boxes' wired inside. Not sure if they are staying or going.
Have a set of 4.10 f&r from my '74 K20 and a set of 3.08 f&r from my '87 K10 both with original transfer cases. The K20 only has 44K.......
