Wow, thanks guys.

The transfer case wasn't really on my radar. Not going to be a near-term project, but I'll definitely consider it when I get some other things sorted out. I see that there's a conversion kit to convert an NP203 to part-time... anyone have an opinion there? Plus hubs.

Just as a point of reference, this truck will see something like 5,000-7,500 miles a year. Good mix of around town and up on the state forest roads in all weather. Nothing too extreme... our mountain roads are pretty well maintained hardpack. Rougher, looser road leading to our camp. Snow. And the occasional commute with interstate travel.

You know... everyday truck.

Does anyone make an OEM-style 16" steelie? Proper backspacing when going to 16x8"? I was really hoping to get decent tires and go drive, but the 15x6 sorta threw me for a loop. But that's half the fun with these old trucks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. This stuff is fun.
