I looked at one ex forestry truck. Body was alright not major rusty but dented up on the barn doors. And the engine was smoking pretty bad. I Dont Know if it would be a top end or bottom end rebuild but I Dont Know if I want to get into that. I put it in 4 low and low on the trans and man 3500rpm truck barely moved. I'm imagining the rear gears would be 410s which would make it like something 72.3:1 final drive in low low. It looked like a 10 bolt front axle. Idont really know about chevy front axles. I know the Dana's and the 14 rear. It was a 14 but a non float axle. He was asking 1600.
