I've driven my 1980,(over 300,000 miles!), 4x4 for 25 years with a T350 and 3.73 gears. It has a 406 and a 205 transfer case. The motor and tranny has been rebuilt once.It's spent all these years running 33/12.50's without problems. I almost forgot to mention, an 8.5' Western ProPlow in the winter. The T350 is the best driving tranny around town! I like my T400's for their strength in my other trucks but, the 350 is more user friendly. I've had a lot of vehicles with 700R4's and had more trouble than I like to think about.
