The story

Got free from a friend of a friend, towed to friends place, starter cylenoid , radiator hose, install rear driveshaft that was with it, new battery and drove it home... had blown front diff-spider gears.

Now 2 years and almost $5000 later I have rebuilt the front axle from hub to hub, got a '79 parts truck, and converted to a 'half cab' pickup. Have all parts on hand or almost here to rebuild the 8.8 rear, the trans and do the seals in the transfer case. New 33" Hankook Dynopro MTs and chrome steelie rims with baby moon caps. — Alaskan-78XLT
