Thanks for the pictures. I just also found out that they had 4x4 conversion kits even as far back as 51. I have this link to the website were I got valuable information on the history of NAPCO, and there is a link in the page that takes you to the original ads for these kits, on the trucks. Here is the link to the homepage of the website:
http://www.napco4x4.org/ And the link to he original ads, there are a lot of '58s in these ads, but older ones too:
http://www.napco4x4.org/ads.htm I also looked on ebay motors for anything with Napco, and found "1" thing that might help me with my struggle, a '58 chevy 4x4 with the Napco running gear intact, heres the link.

Hope that that website may be of help to some of you. I knew that it was possible, but it supprised me that they made kits for 4x4 conversions, but I am glad that they did. Also, is there a company, business that still makes these kits, I hope to God that somone does, otherwise I am going to have one hell of a time locating all these parts, unless I find a doner truck of course. Well, thanks for the help guys, keep 'em coming!
