Master cylinder next on the list ?
Do you have the tool to flush out the old
fluid? It would be a good idea to do that.
I have a hand vacuum pump to flush out the
old stuff along with any air bubbles.

I do not have a tool for that.. The next think i want to do on the brakes is bleed them and it would be nic to have that vacuum tool so i could do it myself but i don't think i could afford one right now.. Other than that yeah eventually i think the booster and master cylinder will need to be changed.. They are getting kind of rusty. But since they work i am not messing with them.
Currently i have been contemplating pulling my front driveline off and "converting" to a 2wd till i get the axle ratios matched. I have an NP-203 transfer case which means i technically have all wheel drive
but i see no reason to have a front driveline if i can't use 4wd yet. Plus when it snows i will actually be able to steer. I just have to make sure if i do pull it, it won't cause any negative issues to the truck. I don't see how it would but you never know.

It won't hurt anything, I ran a 4WD Ranger all summer without a front driveshaft and nothing went wrong. You can feel safe.

I figured i would be safe, but my main concern is since my front shaft is always spinning weather i am in 2wd or not, i don't want that to cause any issues with handling or whatever. I guess the only thing i can really do is pull it off and try it eh?
