Once you get firmly into the 60's, fronts were Dana 44, 60, and 70 
depending on the model and rated axle capacity. Rear axles can be any of 
the above plus a couple af variants on the IH built 'Timken' style.

>2) What transfer case was used, Dana 20?

Most always a New Process gear drive, TC-141. Close to an NP205 in the 
earlier units, AFAIK it is a 205 in later trucks('70 on?)

>3) What 4-speed, T-18? Both wide and close ratios?

In the 60's, T-98, maybe different ratios available, I'm not sure. Also 
T-36 5 speeds, a heavy duty 4 speed I've never even seen, and a heavy duty 
all syncro 3 spd.

>4) Is there anything particular to Travelalls to watch out for (I'm 
primarily

Like what? I can probably advise on many specifics that most folks have 
either seen before or don't care about ;).

Well, we do tend to spell that J*&^ around these parts ;)

Seriously, I know that several list members actually own 
Willys/Kaiser/AMC/Mopar(who owns that dang brand, anyway??)products, others 
have AMC engines gracing their Scouts, and my '64 T-all has a 401 in it. 
Personally, I think Jeeps are great.....for stealing parts off of.
