i came ACROSS A 84 BII WITH AUTO 4X4 600.00 THINKING ABOUT BUYING FOR THE AUTO TRANNY BUT WAS WONDERING WHAT ALL WOULD BE USABLE ON MY 89 AS PARTS .......... HOW MUCH WOULD BE USABLE ........... I KNOW FRONT AND REAR END, TRANNY TRANSFER CASE........I HAVE 4.0 IN MY 1989 NOW...... I JUST WANT TO KNOW THERE IS ENOUGH THERE USABLE TO MAKE IT WORTH THE 600.00 TO ME SINCE I ONLY PAID 500 FOR THE 89 IM DRIVING .....

PLUS IM KINDA TIGHT WITH CASH RIGHT NOW SO JUST WONDERING IF I SHOULD.......

PRICED NEW CLUTCH FOR THE 89 INSTALLED SET UP WITH A 4.0 CLUTCH AND 4.0 FLYWHEEL .......... $640.00



MAIN PROBLEM IS THEY DONT HAVE A TITLE FOR THE 84 B II ........... THAT KINDA BOTHERS ME ABOUT THE BII WITH IT BEING THE CASE

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK YOU WOULD DO

I WANT TO NOTE THE 84 HAS NO LIFT ITS STOCK, AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN A BARN FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS....ITS 4X4 ..... AND UNSURE OF ITS CONDITION..... AS IT IS ABOUT 60 MILES FROM MY HOUSE AND I HAVE NOT SEEN IT.

well, i personally would buy the b2. you said you were thinking of going auto, so here's your chance. i've converted a vehicle from auto to manual before, and as long as you have a donor beast side by side, it's easy. take lots of pictures. if you don't have a camera, throw a $75 digi-cam into your budget.

besides, the b2 has revenue potential - you could part it out, sell it as is, to recover some of your costs. do you still have a dana 28? if so, than i say go for it - worth the price of a spare front end.

yeah i still have the dana 28 front, but i have a dodge thats got a busted frame with a D 60 under it thats 4x4.... 78 model......snapped the frame in half and its not worth welding, thinkng bout trying to get the axles from under it in under the BII , but i was also thinking about maybe just building a trail rig from the 1984 so i might just buy it and strip everything out of it i can for the 89 which i can use as a daily driver.

ok i bought it ....... they lost the title, but had an old registration for it, it runs but runs awefull ...... i got a receipt from them for it that was notarized, and i am applying for a new title for it ..... just playing it safe .... never know about people now a days.... and it has a c5 4x4 tranny ...... :cool: so if i get the title all cleared im going to build it for a rig and keep the 89 like is.... for now.. :laugh: :laugh:
