Have a question for those of you with the knowledge to answer. We are considering to use a manual transmission instead of the 700r4 that we were previously set on. What manual trans would be good for our application? It will be a street queen, but will probably do a few trail rides, not very often as we live in Nebraska. Want it to be able to get up and go as well. I have heard the NV4500 is a pretty good option. Let me know what you guys think.

Alcan springs came in today! They look great! Great people to work with and Bill is very knowledgeable. Hopefully by the end of January we have rolling chassis. Just need to put axles back together and order shackles. Anyone recommend what brand of shackles and how long? We have 4inch rear springs and 2.5inch front since we did shackle reversal. Want to run either 33's or 35's but don't want it to look too Lifted for the size of tires.
If I may ask what is the part number for the WARN hubs? Didnt know they could be had new? Mine is a '78 so fine spline like the 77

the part number is
28771
Do you have any picks of the rear number installed yet? Trying to decide on my bumper build?
Very nice, my friend. Lots of work and time in your project, but something you can be proud of
