Had a 1972 with a modified 302 cu inch and 4:10 Detroit Locker rear/4:10 Dana 44 Limited Slip front
Hi/Lo transfer case with 3 speed on floor
Had all three tops....full cab, half cab and soft top
Dang thing could climb a tree at idle
Had a 1978 with 400 cu inch---4 speed manual
12,000# dual clutch winch on a hand built custon front bumper/grille
Nice riding, comfortable ---OK moderate off road use
BUT it couldn't get out of it's own way with that detuned motor
