I’m looking at a 1979 K5 and while I love the round eye style I’ll be driving it regularly so thinking I need to add OD (700R4) and I guess a NP208 while I’m there. I’ve read a few different threads and it sounds pretty involved with dealing with the four wheel drive selector linkage plus crossmember plus driveshafts. I’m actually pretty surprised that there isn’t a simpler option so wanted to throw it out there first for everyone’s opinion.

The funny thing is that I promised myself I wouldn’t go down this rabbit hole again and just wanted something simple to drive and enjoy but here I am :doah:
