Thanks buddy. I appreciate the input. I was thinking pretty much what you said.
My plan is this...
I am looking for solid 4x4 front axle swap with saginaw. Something with front disc and I'll grab the firewall mounted brake stuff .
Cable to remounted original gas pedal. I'll grab the steering column also.
I'll probably fab pitman arm if I can't find right one.
I'm still thinking I want to keep lever shocks. So I will flip and mount to rear of front donor axle.
I want to fab a mechanical floor shift linkage but if i generate enough funds,I'll probably buy a lokar. Worst case I'll cable shift it.
Only questions left are stock rear axle or donor? And rear drive shaft staying and either cutting short shaft or buying a short custom shaft or finding/buying a new one piece.
