Stock factory? 4wd 351M or 400 and a NP-435 manual 4 spd or a C-6 auto with a NP 205 gear to gear transfer case.

If it have been put together maybe a 460 and 4 spd and NP 205.

X2 on drip rail rust can be a biggie, and rear door panels are NOT reproduced.

A 3.725 gal bucket of unicorn tears and 1.983 bucket of gold hens teeth would be easier to find. I am sure the Crew Cab section guys have all the leads on those parts.

Same for rear door pull straps and door handles.
