Yea its a 10 bolt front, 14 rear. I agree with you about the ice and snow...but then again its hard to get anything to grab on ice. Snow it should do good enuff to get me by, and play in mud along the way

. Its gotta be better in snow then my nova lol.
Only bad thing about buying a truck already together is that I dont know alot about it yet. I dont know the gearing (although it is really low aka high ratio). The owner my grandpa bought it from (was actually from a car lot but the guy that runs the lot said the owner told him this..) said it had $1,700 worth of engine work done. That may and may not be true. It seems to have a hell of alot of power. Doesnt look to flashy on the outside, but never know about the inside. $1,700 worth of work or not it runs great...and thats all I care about.
I like its look, looks tough. Its pretty high too, ive seen some with 40's and still not but maybe an inch if that taller. I would like to get some 38's later down the road (no time soon, whenever these wear out) to help fill in the wheel wells. The 36's look smaller on it then most trucks, I guess just because it has a good amount of lift.
