Hey all. I have a chance to buy 2 4x4 chevy trucks from a friend of mine. 1 is a 1/2 ton and the other is a 3/4 ton, both are between '74 and '78. The 1/2 ton is a 4 speed, 10 bolt front, 12 bolt rear, 350 (doesn't run, good for parts, has headers), good body, 3" body lift, I think it has add-a-leafs, ( sits kinda tall ), ok interior. He told me $300. The 3/4 ton isn't in as good of shape. It has all body parts, some not in as good of shape, It ran when parked, 10 bolt front, 12 bolt rear, auto not sure what kind, 350. I might be able to get both for ~$500. I want to buy them but I was curious what you guys had to say. Are the 3/4 axles any better than the 1/2 ton axles? What kind of transfer cases would these truck have?
Thanks
Zach
Also, (I know this is kinda another topic but...) I have been looking at lifts. I read that for the back you can use some f-150 rear leafs (57") and some modified shackles (flipped??) and you can get 6" of lift and they are really flexy. Is this true? Is there a way to do something like this for the front?
Thanks
