    Mud Tires

    If you’re going to be in the mud look at some Goodyear drag slicks as they’ll get you through just as well as the thornbirds. If just going for looks the thornbirds will be ok.

    350 or LS

    I suggest a stock rebuild or crate engine. Use the savings to have the transmission and rear end rebuilt. You stated that the truck was flooded.

    Engine Crossmember Replacement

    I may still have one that came out of a K5. I can get out to the shed and look sometime this weekend if weather is ok. I don’t know if there is a difference on those between the 2wd vs 4wd.

    Bowler Clutch pedal?

    The bowler kit is a nice piece. You won’t have buyers remorse if that’s the route you choose. Being in Rocklin and your proximity to the Sierra with all the trails,I get the appeal of the nv4500.

    What locker shall I go for?

    The Detroit unlocks when the driveshaft stops putting power into it. Turn a corner while pressing the throttle and it stays locked. Driving in a straight line and coasting/power/coasting - say as if in traffic. That re engaging of the locker function is what I a referencing.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Ime a Detroit is “gnarly” on ice. You can slowly accelerate and when that Detroit lock back in, the ass end wants to pass the front end. When stuck in snow and applying throttle and the ass end starts walking sideways is not fun when on a narrow mountain pass with a steep drop off. But hey, I...

    Driveshaft too short after lift?

    Use this chart and instructions. Take it to your local drive line shop and have them lengthen and balance. https://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/app/webroot/img/File/how_to_measure_diagrams/b.html

    New NVU Gauges

    What made you go with individual gauges over the panel deal that they sell for squarebody? Just curious.

    What locker shall I go for?

    For a 10.5 ff axle, absolutely. For the 9.5 sf not so much. Both axles are referred to as 14 bolts, but totally different beasts.

    What locker shall I go for?

    The only selectable locker for your differential is an ARB part RD197 You’ll also need to purchase an air compressor to run it.

    What locker shall I go for?

    I would look to a limited slip/posi unit over a locker. That diesel engine is not a tire shredder and being in Sweden, ice and a locker can make some awkward situations. A Detroit trutrac will lock upon wheel spin but act open for all other driving.
