    looks like i can really get this party started been shopping hi in low for a drive line for my van.but i finally caught a break this week i found a 350 4 bolt main.punched .30 over i guess in now times it,s a 355 chevy small block.700r trans and 208 t-case. i picked up a set of 3;08 or 3;42 axles going to pull covers to be sure.i also got a set of 3;73 axles but they need a few bucks to make them road ready the other ones are nice a just came off a 1988 running k5 guy makeing a huge jacked up mud truck with 12 bolt welded axles.so check in from time to time as i go along lot,s of pics to follow as i go and sure questions and suggestings from everyone.bears 1970 4x4 project 00410

    I think that you got a great deal with everything that you got with it. I think that the engine alone was worth the money that you payed. I hope that I will get lucky & run up on a good deal like that.
