Hey there. I’ve got a 61 2wd apache 20 that I eventually would like to convert to 4x4. I was wondering if I would be better off to keep the original 10 bolt because of the stronger hub bolted axle design or if I would be better off to find an 80s 12 or 14 bolt to use. She’s mostly going to be used for towing and hauling, with the occasional off road excursion. Also, I plan on swapping in a 250-300hp Chevy 350 because of parts availability and I was wondering if the stock 4 speed trans could handle it. Thanks for your time.
