71 K10 specs

[FlameOut]

I recently sold my 72 K10 and have been regretting it and might have the chance at a 71 K10. The body work doesn't worry me, but I just want to make sure drivetrain is original. Would it have come stock with Dana 44 front end and Chevy 12 bolt rear end with 3.08 gears. I swear my 72 was a 10 bolt rear with 3.73 gear ratio. The seller says its the NP205 transfer case, so that is good, but it's a SM465 three-speed with granny low, so not to thrilled wjth that

I haven't looked at it yet, but does need typical cab work like rockers, cab corners and floor work. Short bed stepside and the bed needs work too Im hoping to get a photo of the spid to verify a shortbed. What would a truck like this, in bad shape, be worth?

10 bolt was stock but the 12 bolt was optional i believe.If its not a over priced rusted out pile of junk and you like and can afford it buy it.

10 bolt front wasn't stock in 72, don't believe they were even being made at that time, front or rear for a 1/2 ton. ( It would have been a Dana 44 )
12 bolt rear was stock.
NP205 was stock also.
As for gears it could have been either 3:08s or 3:73s depending on the transmission or special order.

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately just found out that this is a Frankenstein truck. Originally a longbed C10, converted to a shortbed 4x4, so not what I was hoping. I sure do regret selling my 72 swb k10.
