Blah blah blah yeah whatever
Im just starting to plan for my powerwagon project and I'm looking for some info from people that played with them.
Its a 62, 318, 4speed, 3/4 ton shortbed. Gonna be used as a truck. 35's max tire size.
Im interested in a possible axle swap to something newer for disc fronts and possibly better gears at the same time. Pretty much as close to bolt in as possible.
Is there anything to be gained by swapping out the np420 and I think 201 case for a newer combo? Same deal though where I'd rather do the least modification to the truck. New mounts are not too big of a deal.
Anyone been down this road before with sweptlines? Am I just looking instead for a 80's to early 90's 3/4 ton manual to pillage? Or what years should I be looking for? I like to rat hole parts till I've got most of them. Thanks
