So it's gotten to the point where any further with my jeep and it will be a nightmare to drive on the road.
I joined this forum to ask about some towing questions and starting doing a lot of research, between that and talking to my dad I decided that I wanted to use the engine trans and tcase out of a gmt400. Specifically an 88 to 92 TBI with a 700r4.
Basically all that's going to be left of the original truck is the cab forward frame. I decided that I wanted to do a HP44 and 9 inch mainly because I found this 1979 Ford pick up for a deal (1200$)
The axles have 5.13 gears, a moser full spool in the rear and a Yukon locker in the front.
The 9 inch has the 35 spline kit in it so that is a huge bonus I got about 4k worth of axle parts for 1200 bucks.
I plan on selling the rest of the parts off of the ford to hopefully offset the cost. It came with a mint condition lund visor from 79 that is about 500 on ebay.
Anyway here is the truck GMT400 I am starting with.
It was a 1 owner pick up and runs amazing picked it up for 900.
Here is the axle donor truck
Towed it home with my 96 GMT400 and was very pleased.
Anyways more build progress to come. This will basically be a full tube buggy with guts from both of these trucks.
