I assume you have 10-bolts front & rear and an NP208 transfer case. Am I right?

You will probably need some conversion U-joints and if your truck is a short bed you will have to shorten the rear driveshaft but that is it.

PM me and we can try to work something out if you are close enough.

I am in Quincy. Being 15 the 2.5 hour one way drive would be a bit difficult.. Plus I will need the parts a bit sooner than spring hopefully. but if all other good ideas fail I will keep this option at the top of my mind. I really appreciate it though.
