I chose the Ford primarily because I have quite a few ford parts laying around currently... I have a 2x4 '75 F100 with a 460 in it. Obviously I'd want that 460 in my 4x4 and have some decent gear options already in my garage for the 9" even have a couple different gears for the 8.8 so even if I were rich I guess I'd still plan around what I have in my garage LMAO of course if I REALLY went with what I have here I guess I'd convert the 2x4 to 4x4 and lift it while I have it all apart. That would be fun.... but I like the previous gens looks more.
