I’ve slowly been building up a 77 club cab 4x4, 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?

Tip:
Remember, a 4x4 cannot be treated like a normal car when cornering. The 4WD will roll over much easier than a car while cornering, due to the higher center of gravity. This applies to gravel and paved roads equally. Although a four wheel drive vehicle generally has better traction on gravel than a car, when safe cornering speeds are exceeded the four wheel drive will tend to roll earlier than a car.
