what that is is a 1972 2WD cab on a 71 1/2 ton 4WD chassis.
it has a Sky Jacker 8" lift kit, front in the pic is a 4:88 ratio Dana 44, rear is a 4:88 GM 14 bolt with lincoln lockers. there both brand new internals.
it had a manual valve body TH350 with a 3800 stall converter, now a regular TH350 with a 205 transfer case and a 2200 stall converter.
it had no motor, i built up a 10.7 CR aluminum head 355 with a 488 lift hydraulic cam, through the 3" exhaust it is loud, it dumps out in front of the rear tires. sounds good to me!
I have 2 new drive axles ready to install, changing it to 3:73, both are 8 lug GM, 10 bolt front, 14 rear with regular spider gears.

Tires are Mickey Thompson 35 17.5 15 one of Baja claw models.

it was built for a dune truck by the 2 previous owners, i have been changing it back to a street use truck.

i have been working on it every spare minute i get. i have just under 10 grand in it now. i think I'm OK.
