Since I'm considering another truck, I'm going to revise my decision a bit. Cause I'm broke and don't want a payment...or too big a one, it'd be early 90's dodge or ford 4x4 diesel - solid front axle and better clearance. If I could either an engine transplant or the fuel to drive the above truck - late 70's & early 80's, I'd go with GMC or Chevy's solid front axle, but I don't think I could afford to fill either up! (same goes for the 60's & 70's fords)
