It is definitely a nice one today... I finally got the right belt for the mower, third try on that... the other was so shredded it was difficult to get the right length from it...
Found a ZF 5 speed that will work in my 86, thinking strongly of getting it. Still need to get a flywheel and clutch assembly, but that is only about $400 usually for the Luk solid conversion.... the trans is only $100 here locally... downside is that I just put a new clutch in it about a year ago... no longer would be useful with the conversion.

Well, I would be pulling a T19... however, it is 4x4. Until my dad gives up on the 2wd, I can't get rid of that one. Now if I were to not rebuild the 77, there would be a 435 or whatever those transmissions are... You could always try to pick up an add on overdrive unit. The Gear Vendors unit that I took out of the Dodge donor for the 92 is divorced, made for a lot easier install.

I do have that case, but would likely keep it in the truck. Also have a whole other truck I can take it from as well. Just a matter of parting with it, but then, I haven't wiped out any t-cases as yet over all the years I have drive, short of the 203 in the old 75, but 4.10 up front and 3.73 in the rear can do that...
