Thanks alot for the feed back, ya
it was wheeled hard on narrow trails for a couple years, then I started collecting good parts as they came up. Eventually it was rolled into the shop and the transformation began. The truck has a very strong 350, currently on its 3rd T-400, and has a 208 T-case. I swapped in a 10.5'' 14 bolt, has 4.10 gears, a 4inch lift, and 35'' trxus mud terrains.
