If that hard top is in good shape and for sale I'd like to discuss it. I am using a military HT and it's OK but it need something a bit more stout for a project.

M35A2
4000 from a dealer

Swapping the 900 series T-case in to the 800 series truck is a big, big job and there's no one way to do it best because of the differences in the case mountings and the angles. Mine had to be offset slightly from the transmission to fit but that is nothing to fear with the best u-joints.

"things best looked at but not eaten"
Got to be a lot of stories by now!
The goal is to get the truck off redline at 52MPH. Any means of doing it can be discussed here. Starting a new thread will only fragment this information.
