Thanks, all, for the thoughtful (and humorous) replies. The laughter is AS IMPORTANT a part of The 'Bolt as the info, IMHO smile . Now, another quick one. Are the 3/4 ton AD rearends any WIDER than the 1/2 ton? Looks to me like they just use a longer bed, but the same width rear fenders. I know that the springs are outboard of the frame, I'm wondering if the 10 bolt posi T/A rearend (1979 or thereabouts)I've got squirrelled away might work? :confused: Who knows, maybe I'll end up with a 1/2 tonner anyway, just curious and keeping an open mind to all possibilities. Thanks again, everybody.

Regards,
Wannabe smile
