    I disassembled a multicolor 4x4 ls swapped squarebody (rusty frame) into parts, disassembled my blue and white '75 2wd 1 ton and reassembled everything onto a 1 ton 4x4 cucv frame with an ls swap/4l80e and refreshed an np205 in about a year (2019-2020).

    Look at it this way, if you can get a squarebody for under $2k that is not completely rotten, running or not your probably doing pretty good.

    4x4 shifting question from a noob

    With my np205 and 4l80e I have to shut the truck off to get into 4 low from a stop without grinding (makes the same sound as if you put a moving truck into park while its moving if I try in neutral).

    C30 vs K30 cab difference

    I swapped my c30 cab onto a k30 chassis. My c30 floor was not removable but it was easy to cut it out with a jigsaw and a couple metal blades. Apparently I should have saved the hump behind the cover from the other cab. :uhoh2:

    89 3/4 Ton conversion consideration

    I would be prepared to replace the metal brake lines in the rear in case you run into trouble getting them off. I know I did!
