Something to be real proud of.I love these trucks (suprise)! I was able to switch out my alternator in 15 minutes and $60.00 yesterday. I had computer issues with my Sierra, $600.00 later and a day in the shop. Don't get me wrong, I like the Sierra fine, I'm just saying life was so much simpler back then!

Factory dana44 in front,eaton rear with4.57 gears and rockwell transfercase. Time can change a lot of components in a vechile of this age. If it has a NAPCO axle it will have a tag or stamping on it that says NAPCO. Back then if you wanted a napco axle you could buy 1 and install it on your own as they did at the factory on some of the late 50s truck or dealer installed trucks. They were a conversion kit from napco to convert 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive. Meet the inventor on the napco website.
