Hi everybody! I did a little searching, but could not find any answers. I'm new to 4x4s, also, so maybe these would be easy questions.
I'm not looking to do anything crazy, light trail and offroad use, something like a NAPCO Taskforce truck with available parts.
First, what kind of front axle goes well under the Task Force trucks? I can cut off and re-weld spring perches, I'm looking for something that would hook up the stock '57 steering box/arm/linkage. I don't know if there's a year range of trucks that are good donors.
Second, I have heard of "divorced" transfer cases, I think I want to use one of those so I can keep my T5 if possible. Is this tranny going withstand that kind of punishment? What is a good divorced tranfer case? Donor vehicles?
Any answers, thoughts, or helpful tips would be appreciated.
