My "NEW" 1970 Shortbox Stepside 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got it home. It has a 283 with 4-speed. I payed $850.00 which I didn't think was bad. It needs work, but I think it's a great start for a frame-off resto. Let me know some feedback. I have a couple of questions . Is the 4wd shifter supposed to be at a 90 degree angle toward the driver? Also, what is the standard axle ratio? I would think 3.73(originally a 307 4-speed). Thanks for any help
