twospeed transfer np205 i think didnt look real close
a 4" lift
power steering
and of course the front discs
and it has a decent set of wheels (ive got white steel spoke good wheels but a little boring)
im thinking steel all the goodies slap it back together with my old parts and sell it get a load of good mods for a teeny tiny price.

i just glanced under the truck but i think it bolted to the trans.
i wish it was divorced i would love to get a gearvendors under drive stick it between them and be able to split gears while crawling would have to figure out how to have it engage under 20 mph though.

Yeah,
I am in the funds boat too, but the expensive part is behind you if you get the 205, high dollar case around here. Oh, and I searched... 19 items with out any instruction to checking kingpins, do you check them like balljoints?

Thanks,
I may change mine over to 4 wheel, a buddy of mine has the tranny, front axle, and transfer case I can get cheap. Just got to get drive shafts, and a few other parts.
