First 4-Wheel Drive

[Mike97ZJ]

Yeah, I guess everything is relative. My grandfather paid just over 2k for a brand new '55 Chevy, but then again, he was only making a little over a dollar an hour.

Thanks for the info.

Mine was a Cheyenne. It had the aluminum trim around the back of the cab and luxury options such as heat and a headliner, lol.

I lucked out buying it though. Turns out it had 3.73 gears, when the standard gears were 3.07 (yuck!). It also had the part time 205 case rather than the more common full time 203. From reading the four wheeler mags, I've since learned that the TH350/NP205 combo is ultra rare in the early trucks. Apparently most of the 205's came with 4 speeds, and most of the autos came with 203's.
