I JUST GOT A 78 4X4 CHEVY TRUCK FOR FREE. ITS GOT A 205 TRANSFER CASE. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT, I PERSONALLY HAVEN'T SEEN IT. ITS STOCK WITH NO BED. I'M GONNA BUILD IT UP WHEN I GET BACK FROM IRAQ NEXT AUGUST BUT RIGHT NOW I NEED SOME IDEAS FOR A DIRECTION TO TAKE IT. STREET LEGAL OR NOT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. PICS WOULD BE GREAT CUZ I CAN'T FIND ANY.

I would gut it out. leave nothing but a seat and a steering wheel. Add a CB to it, put some mud terrains under it and go wheel it. Decide from there what it is good at and what you like. Maybe you prefer rocks over mud or vice versa, maybe you think it is to big to wheel in canyons and want to make a mudder out of it.
It would be foolish to build it up one way just to have to change it all around if you dont like it.
I mean a mud truck is a lot different than a trail rig which is a lot different than a rock crawler which is a lot differnent than a sand toy. You get my meaning.
Anyway, you will know best what to do. Once you decide what direction you want to go, then say "hey, I am looking to do this, how do I get there". Shit like that.
here is what I have.
Should be pretty close to what your starting with.
I am going to be making the switch to Rocks and probably 46" tire and it will be a crawler.
Right now it is kinda an all around rig. It is pretty good at most things but not great at anything (except sitting on the trailer lol). I would rather have it as a kick ass rock crawler and do a cheap build up on a zuk or something as an all around rig.
Just a thought for ya
