    I had a 73, an 80 and an 87.

    The 73 had the 350/350, 10 bolt front, 12 bolt rear axles, NP 203 chain drive t-case.
    The 80 had a NP 205 gear driven t-case (STOUT!)
    The 87 had a 305HO (POS), 700R-4 (POS until you built it), 10 bolt front and rear axles (weaker rear axle), and the NP 208 belt drive t-case (POS)

    So, if you compared the hardware between that 71 and the 87, the 71 is a much stouter rig.

    Is one a these a complete waste of money.? Heritage Arms single action army knock off in .22lr..
    For around a buck fifty seems like it would be fun to just mess around with, & shoot on the cheap. Everything I got now 9mm short, .40sw, & .45acp, 9mm luger, the 9 luger is by far the least expensive to shoot..
    You can get em without the pinup girls, but I think that's what makes them neat..

    The eighties trucks were fine. After your removed smog pump, 4 miles of vacuum hose, rebuilt or installed a engine with some power, and replaced the carbs. Everyone had junk transmissions.

    Ford,Gm,Dodge were all plagued with a epa nightmare in those times. Everything was a nutless wonder.

    Nothing wrong with them to go plinking around. Really cheap to shoot. But if you never have had a revolver. This may be like a gateway drug to a whole new collection. You will like the simplistic and reliability of them. It's a slippery slope my friend.

    Your 73 had a Dana 44, which was standard until 78. They started using the Corp 10 bolts front and rear in 79, but still had some D44 left over that got put in some trucks.

    The 208 was an aluminum chain drive tcase. Had a lower low range than the 203 and 205.

    The 700r4 suffered from the tv cable never being adjusted right and would burn up the clutches for 4th gear.

    08 tuscon. And yep the serpentine belt went this morning. I'm guessing that squeaking noise was the pulley. So now I am trying to figure out how I can get that replaced

    I found some new hook/rollers and Put my window curtains back in for the first time since I’ve owned my truck. I’ve been using the behind the seat curtains all this time. Wow! What a difference that makes!! 75CE74C1-AC41-4D4F-8935-971FCDAEE39B.jpeg
