Re: 71' suburban 4x4

It may be the same one. It came with roof racks.

Started documenting where everything goes on the frame. Deicing I will at the minimum do a full tear down/re-build on the transmission and t-case as well as a twin stick conversion on the t-case.

I have been toying with the idea(which I read about somewhere) of running a tcase in reverse as an overdrive unit. The output shaft from the tcase used for 4x4 goes into the output shaft of the OD tcase and its input shaft goes to your rear end. When in lo gear you get overdrive. The issues here are A. the np205 isnt meant to spin at a high RPM in LO for a long period of time, and lubrication, to name a few so I probably won't do this.

Also debating on doing a custom floor shifter for the transmission with a manual valve body. The only reason I might not is because I do like a somewhat stock look and I need to be able to haul a 10 1/2' long model airplane fuselage.
