    Who is building the 4X4 early ? Ford or chevy. Where are they putting the transfer case shifter ? And is it cable or linkage ?

    I'm not sure but I was talking to Dennis at dddiscbrakes.com and he said his neighbor had one. I think he said it had a bronco running gear but I'm not sure give him a call. KLM

    Nicest job I ve seen yet was by Duke Spangler in Wisconsin on his 67 Econo van. He used Jeep Cherokee axles and Bronco motor and transfer case.
