I like this! It's a really clean, solid old truck for its age. Although I prefer trucks that don't sit too much higher than stock; it's your truck you do what you want. Any plans for a 4.0/M5-OD swap in its future? I notice you're out in Montana. Is there still many of these first-gen's left out there? Everything that age here in PA was ate up by rust and taken off the road years ago. That's PA's own cash for clunkers program: they take our cash and our clunkers!!
Only way to get the 8.8 in a first gen was a cab chassis truck, I think it was even a 31 spline but they are very rare. After that you could get a 28 spline 8.8 with the 3.0 with certain weight ratings (rare) and every 4.0 had one. 2002 FX4 and 03+ FX4LVII's had a 31 spline 8.8's.
