well it looks like it has Dana 60's front and rear. Which is fantastic. The truck is a 77 4x4 crewcab hiboy. Thanks for the help and I hope to explore the site a little better and learn my way around.

well, the truck was originally a special order from the factory by Idaho fish and game comission. I'm sure they ordered heavy, but I wanted to know for sure.
