Both the '80 and the '67 are 2wd. I live in ND and have never really needed a 4wd, just some sandbags and a good set of chains. I do admit that 4wd would be nice though.

my 81 is 2wd. I figured it would be the easiest to make a street racer.

Both '72 pickups are 4WD along with the '72 Blazer, '74 K/20 pickup and '94 S-15 Jimmy. Only the '58 is two wheel. We live in Western Wisconsin so four wheel drive is definately needed. We also have lift kits on all of them except for the Jimmy and '58 since there can be a lot of mud here too.
