Hi,
I got this truck ('88 4x4 5sp) for the engine, but decided to do the 4x4 conversion as well. The 2wd ('92) has a w55 transmission, which I read somewhere is the same tranny behind the '92's (with 4x4). I have the complete rear axle, transfer case, locking front hubs, cross member (are they interchangeable?), shifters, 6-hole SR5 rims, decent tires, 4x4 steering box(???), shocks/springs (which I need) etc. from the '88 (I'll have the complete donor truck here tonight!), and just want to know about compatibility issues prior to tearing into it. I need to know if I have a complete usable parts list or not.
I've also read that now would be the time to replace the IFS with a solid front axle. I'd like to do the swap, but I need to research it better with, again, a parts list/compatibility issues.
Any info/tips/links anyone can impart to me would be greatly appreciated, and as always, thanks in advance.
