I was not aware of the difference in drop sides. Thanks for the heads up. :) That's why I asked. Definitely not worth the headache then. I just knew they were gear drive and supposed to be stronger. But apparently not. :)
Will an np205 bolt to, and work with the 4l80E? There's one for sale very close to me. Worth the buy or will the electronics get ornery?
I should also add my truck is a 97' reg cab.
I know I would have to add floor shifter and change the front diff to a manual engage as well.
Any one interested in any of the parts from the B-pillars back? Seatbelts, jack parts, glass? Seat if your close enough to pick up or meet? Or even the plastic trim parts?
