Your Dodge looks pretty heavy duty. Nice!

Thanks, it's like driving a tractor. It's got an NP435 4 speed, divorced transfer case, Dana 80 rear, Dana 70 front, 4.88's, originally had a 383 but now has a 318 Poly, steel tube bumpers, 10,000 LB hand crank winch, PTO underneath for the original winch bumper, 40" military issued 8 ply bias on 20" split rims, and it's got 8 solid leafs and 5 more overloads. It's heavy, slow, and stiff, but goes through and over anything.

Gotta show my buddy the pic of your Dodge. Puts his truck (a 78 military 5/4 ton with Dana 70 rear Dana 60 front) to shame!

Mike, your truck really has an 80 rear?

Just curious... the 80 was not a factory option in 65, the next up from the 70 was an RA115 chrysler made axle. Looked like an EATON. In fact, I'm not sure the 80 was even in production until the late 70's early 80's.

Love the hi boy.... one of the best offroad trucks ever made.
