Is that you in the 2nd pic, or one of the dudes from Korn?
That’s kind of a korny joke buddyIs that you in the 2nd pic, or one of the dudes from Korn?
Wow, I don't think I've seen a set of old school Tru-Tracs on anything since the 80s.The current ones in the fleet.
'45 Willys MB (CJ grille in the pic is hanging on the wall now). Chevy 153/SM420/D18, narrow track 30 front, stock 44 rear. Buncha other stuff. My dad bought this in 1979, raced it all through the 80s. Slowly reviving and updating since I inherited it

'69 CJ5, legit barn find my old boss bought then never did anything with. Not sure what I'll do with it either but it was worth the $500 I paid. Last registered in the early 80's.

Pretty positive it hasn't run since the 80's. It had some kind of engine trouble serious enough for it to be removed and then it was never fixed.Wow, I don't think I've seen a set of old school Tru-Tracs on anything since the 80s.
My rig was built for the Con as well as the Shaver Lk trails like Dusy, Swamp Lk, Red Mt. I overbuilt it to prevent breakdowns when 30 miles from nowhereHeres my 87' 4runner currently on some old 36" swamper tsl's
Needs some work here and there but hoping to get her down the Rubicon this year

Nice fkn wood truck! Front truetrac is the best. Hard to steer in the woods with thousands of lbs of green wood in the bed when using a front locker and off camber stuff, open diff isn't enough. The front truetrac fixes it all. Running one in the front of my f 350 wood truck.85 K30 LS swapped, 5.3 liter, detroit in the rear, front D60 with 35 spline axles, yukon hubs, and a Tru trac. Its my firewood getter
theres been a few times for me when a true 4 wheel drive is what ive needed, the tru trac is soo well behaved on the snowy roads you barely feel its there, definatley gets 2 thumbs up from me, I opted for an old school detroit in the rear just to be sure both tires engage in reverse, I heard from a couple snowplow guys they had problems getting both rears to engage in reverse when stuck on snow berms.Nice fkn wood truck!

Upgrade to a 205 possible? Have an NP205 with pto in my M1031 CUCV. Same thing as yer k30.theres been a few times for me when a true 4 wheel drive is what ive needed, the tru trac is soo well behaved on the snowy roads you barely feel its there, definatley gets 2 thumbs up from me, I opted for an old school detroit in the rear just to be sure both tires engage in reverse, I heard from a couple snowplow guys they had problems getting both rears to engage in reverse when stuck on snow berms.
the weak link in my truck has been the np241c transfer case, it wants to crap the rear output shaft bearing out of the case, I put a case saver 3 pice snap ring in it and its helped, but I think with the LS motor torque and no tire slip its just to much for it to constitantly take.

I ran a TrueTrak up front before the solid axle swap. It was great in snow, mud and general loose terrain. But, in the rocks...not so good. Swapped to ARB with the solid axle.theres been a few times for me when a true 4 wheel drive is what ive needed, the tru trac is soo well behaved on the snowy roads you barely feel its there, definatley gets 2 thumbs up from me, I opted for an old school detroit in the rear just to be sure both tires engage in reverse, I heard from a couple snowplow guys they had problems getting both rears to engage in reverse when stuck on snow berms.

I run an sm 465/327 v8 in my 68 k20. Yep that low first gear is great trying to crawl a load of green wood.and honestly I would like a sm465 granny tranny as well, Ive informed my wife this summer the truck might need a couple grand to tighten it up some more and I got the OK.
My other wood truck has this np 271 transfer case, behind a built 4r100 with all sun coast innards and sun coast billet torque convertor.NP271 maybe. Lower low than 205, depends on your usage.
