So what I'm doing is swapping the body to a 73 4WD frame. Adding 460,c-6, NP 205, Dana 60 front axle,power steering.
All of the frame and axle parts are at the powdercoaters and hope to have them back by the end of the week.
Engine is rebuilt and all parts for axles are waiting on guy that makes it pretty.
Have new steering box, and all body parts are in the barn. Need all lines, fuel tank and god knows what else but I'm having a ball.
I'm not even saying how much I have in this truck but I'm expecting to have 5k more than I planned. Hope she understands.
Dana 60 parts are smokin expensive.
You all have showed me soo much and want to say thanks for contributing.

Are you by chance putting that all onto a 73 3/4 ton frame, with the front dana 60 and all? If so you will be redrilling bed mounts if you havent already. Anyways though good luck with it and post more as you get it done.

Truck was a camper special originally and will be going on a 73 highboy 4WD frame.
Tabs have been welded to frame so I dont have to mess with making even more holes in the bed.
Inner rockers were purchased from Dennis Carpenter. Outers were found at Green Sales(thank God). LMC and DC did not have them. Green had oem parts, not cheap, but I had to have them.
