71 d-200 body, engine, and frame, all setting on 66 W-200 axles with 4.10 gears. Dana 60 rear with locker, and matching Dana 44 front. Original 383 engine runs great. Has original 727 auto still in truck, and I have a 727 / Dana 20 setup that needs the tailshaft and tailhousing swapped into the big block case. Will be a nice 4 x 4. Truck has no dents, all original paint and interior, and only rust is in lower rockers and a small spot in drivers floor. 8' fleetside bed is immaculate and has a good tailgate. Original equipment includes a/c-not currently working, ps, pb, and grille guard. The following is new: wheel cylinders, brake lines, valve cover gaskets, exhaust, 255-85-R16 Cooper tires, one piece 8 hole 16" wheels, kenwood am-fm-cass, tie rod ends, u-groove spark plugs, alternator, thermostat, plug wires, carburetor, and plug wires. All that is left is to swap the tailhousing from the 4x4 727 to the big block case, mount the transmission and transfer case, and alter and install the driveshafts. Driving it now as 2 wheel drive. Looks great, runs great. jpg format pictures available to be e-mailed. Asking $3800.00 and losing a lot at that. Gave $2500 for the D-200 and $600 for the W-200 parts truck before I even started.
