but if you also mod the shift rail or get a new rail if yours is worn bad then you can go and do front wheel drive option with the twin stick . this is more for offroad trails and such .

here is the link to ord web site page for there kit . its a basic bolt in kit in a hr or 2 for the average wench turning truck guy . http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/NP2...ckShifters.htm

i twin sticked my plow truck years ago and loved it . way better shifting and feel .

bonus if you do trailer is backing up in 2WD LOW range option with just the twin stick lever kit . yes this can be done stock single lever also if hubs are unlocked .

if you wish to get real crazy i did 6 levers in my 1 project thats not done yet . and the trans has a bell crank linkage to work correctly with it set so far up on the trans . fits threw a stock 4 speed shifter hole with 4 speed boot .
1= lokar auto trans / 2-6= winch in/out / hydro pto pump on/off / range box high/n/low / 205 rear high/n/low 205 front high/n/low

Sorry Sweetk30, just noticed your post. You guys are killing me! I getting goose bumps thinking about all the fun I'm going to have with my boys and hives at the same time thinking about all the info/research I'm going to have to digest. Love this stuff!

All I can say is thank you for all for the informative posts. I figured this was a good forum but I truly just took a blind leap of faith hoping not to get engaged with a bunch idiots. I am pleased to say this Forum and you folks are awesome!

Now I have to make time to try and to comprehend everything. I will do my best to keep up.

This 81' is an amazing old rig. However I'm still working on little things too, like wiper motor switch, bad plow connections, heater controls, slow electric window motors, carburetor (this one is the most painful), power steering pump/hydro boots etc...you guys know the stuff.

My main concern and interest is the drive/power train so thanks again!
