yea... I gotta find a 4x4 e40d and a transfercase with linkage... now...
I kinda stumbled onto the deal and wasn't really looking. I eventually wanted to swap to 4x4 and 05+ axles but I just bought new tires. so... It will likely sit in the garage for a good while I collect the other parts.
I fear I may be in tranny trouble at some point in the next year or two so I have my eyes out for a core to build.

Wow, that is a great deal. I wonder if it was the same body style, if you could put the obs body on the newer frame? Build some motor/trans/body mounts, steering, etc. Take some more fabbing for sure, but if the wheelbase is somewhat close, anything is possible..

Cut out the center pieces and then cut each side into 3 pieces. That way I have the front and rear mounts and dimensions if I need them...
I'll use the steel for something at some point.

I thought so... The guy had his truck stolen and he bought it back from the insurance for $1200 (I saw the paperwork).
They took the engine and some parts of the interior and the bed.
By the time I got to it he just wanted to get rid of it... as part of the barter I helped him break down most of the other parts. spent a weekend helping him... it was 107 degrees out.... but worth it.
