I have the 85 4x4 from my welcome post and a 84 RWD that have had parts switched around. To start the project off I picked up a 83 300 from a 2WD F-100. Got the non-plastic radiator with it and checking on a T-18/19 transmission for it as well. Have to work on a 15 Tahoe before I get to tackle this project. I want to start by dropping the tank and seeing what I need to do to fix the level sensor. Then I will start fitting the 300 in place. Expecting to have to shift the cab back for everything to fit. After that I have to figure out axles. I am leaning toward Dana 60's, but set on nothing yet. I wanted to just use a Dana 35 TTB, but too limited availability on gear ratios for it.
