72 2wd vs. 71 4x4 What to expect? How much to ask for clean 72?

[CliffB]

Just found this site. Thank you all, it is great!

I've had a 72 3/4 2wd longbed Custom Camper since 95 and just agreed to buy a 71 3/4 4x4. The 71 has 106K original miles and a new very nicely built 350 with new headers and exhaust while the 72 has 225K, and a 100K plus old rebuild and is not 4 wheel drive. Both are straight and clean with older paint.

I've wanted 4 wheel drive and I know the 71 owner and motor builder well. I couldn't resist the change. The 72 runs and drives great but the 71 is way more powerful and drives great too.

MY BIG QUESTION: What should I expect about the way the 4x4 drives compared to the 2wd (leaf rear) and are there many maintenance differences to the 4x4? I'm interested in your opinions.

Also, for restoration, I've collected all the lights, bezels, factory tach, interior parts, window felts, door seals, interior mat, dash pad and more for the 72. Luckily they aren't on the truck yet. Is anything very different (non driveline) between the 71 4x4 vs. the 72 2wd? Both are 3/4 ton fleetsides.

I'm hoping to use the vintage aluminum slotted mags on the 8 lug 2 wheel drive for the 4x4. Will they fit? The 2wd is a Custom Camper with the heavy duty Dana rear axle and suspension.

My next challenge is to price the 72 for sale and get it ready to go. I'm the third owner. Friend owned it since 1973. I have about $5,000 invested in it. Any opinons are most welcome. Here's the desciption:
