what i'm looking for is which 4 spd tranny does it have and which axles (i.e. dana 60, or??) are under the truck....i know that the rear is a full floater, but there was no differential tag for the rear...thanks

The trans is either a Borg-Warner T-18 or a New process NP 435. You can look on the side of the tranny and there sould be a casting showing T-18 (Maybe T-19; but, doubt it). The T-18 has a cast iron top and the NP has a n aluminum top.

Don't know what to tell you on the axle's

what's the differences between a NP435 and a T-18? I have the T-18 in my 1/2 ton, and love it...

Not a whole lot. NP has a slightly lower 1st gear - some say it's not as strong as the T-18. They are both pretty tough transmissions.
