which truck to 13 BT...NOW, installing prep
I'm sure this will get a mixed bag of responses.....
I have two bone stock rigs, both in great shape and running. I bought a 13BT w/5 spd , PTO, and cable lockers to put in my 74V8j40. Problem is that I sold that truck before I received the diesel motor and bought this sweet 78fj40. So, do I put the 13BT and axles in the 78 california spec fj40 or the nearly pristine 66 FJ45? Neither truck will see heavy wheeling, but I do take the 40 out some to Tellico and Uhwarrie.
Both seem to be a crying shame to modify, but I'm also excited about the diesel and cable lockers.
Now, I won't start this project until the winter, so I have plenty of time to think it over.
