advise on my mess
I’ve slowly been building up a 77 club cab 4×4, but it was in real bad shape. I have been gathering parts for some time. I changed out the front axle with a chevy 1/2 ton. I had it available with an air locker and 4:10s, so I then built up a rear axle to match with a detroit locker in it. But the Part time converter for the 203 keeps giving me fits. SO I went out and bought a 73′ 1/2 ton and planned on taking the 4 speed and np205 out, but once i got it I started thinking that I should just put the axles from the 73 under the 77 and then sell the chevy axles. But once I got the 73s axles apart they aren’t in great shape, and they have open diffs, 3:55s, and Drum brakes. Now I’m not sure what to *** Do I put the dodge parts back under the dodge. Then do a disc conversion and redo the gears, or just leave the Chevy axles?

Traction No matter what you have heard or learnt in the past, this is the most important thing for successful four wheel driving. Without TRACTION, your 4×4 will get nowhere. There are five key elements to traction…. 1. Track condition. 2. Tyres. 3. Suspension travel. 4. Engine revs. 5. The number of driven wheels. Just one of these in poor condition or of the wrong type and your forward motion can be seriously limited.
