88-93 would be my perfered years... here is why
1 88 start of the Cummins...
2 fuel injection on gas trucks.
3 NP241 on gas trucks NP205 on Cummins and 1 ton trucks...
Body parts exchange on 81-93 trucks Less the 91-3 rad supports...
5 727 88 / A518 89up trans Cheep if needed rebuilds
6 Dana 60 fronts on CTD and most 1 tons... must have np205 gear drive transfer...
7 full door panels and headliners and trim, on most upgraded models..
* fuse box that don't melt or catch fire like on 76-80 trucks...
9 Not full time4x4... 72-80 trucks...

I think I hit most of it...




I`m looking at 1/2 or preferably 3/4 ton but no 1 tons or Cummins so I guess my main concern for driveabilty would be the fulltime 4wd system. What exactly is the problem with the fulltime units and how hard it is to change over to a newer transfer case? Like I said 95% of my driving with it is local but I may do an occasional long haul to Lebanon Valley or even Carlisle which is 900 mile sround trip?
