the trims were mostly a sticker package and getting more standard stuff inside. this isn't 100%, for example there were interior fabrics that were Laredo specific.

literally no way to know. the breakdown numbers simply don't exist.

what axles?

pretty much everything that there is to know is here on CC somewhere. but a lot of info was lost back in the AMC days so we still have gaps in the knowledge. what sort of info are you looking for?

because those numbers are for the calendar years, not the model years the hemmings stuff has... errors.

still could easily have been swapped out early on. maybe someone was trying to hyper mile? who knows. without any official info it's hard to say.

found in a search:

years?

are you referring to the introduction of dana 35c? (C meaning "custom" not C-clips)

"paperwork" can be the digital variety of course. far too few of us still have build sheets and window stickers. is the vin in the registry? I've got 0 info to support any 4.0/auto coming like that from the factory. fwiw I blew up and replaced my axle in '98 when the truck was all of 10 years old. dana 35s truly suck. I need a time machine...

that is so much against the grain that I'm going to need to see some paperwork before I would add that to any list.

looks like you had fun!

2.5 + auto = 4.56 the 4spd manual didn't have an overdrive, so they stuck with a 3.55 keep in mind that 86 was a bit weird and they hadn't fully settled on the standard ratios yet so other combos could exist.

I recognize that rear flare

it'll be there eventually. my garage in Michigan was barely a step beyond that (only had 110 and turned out the guys that wired it did it wrong so the power was temperamental at best) but it was the greatest thing ever when changing a power steering pump in the winter. you have done well.

most 2.5s did have 4.10s but 2.5L+4spdmanual = 3.55 so not all did and ya gotta verify before buying.

seems perfectly usable to me. if a project pops up, you now have a work space that is sheltered from the elements.

circumstances are everything. I grew up in a small 2 story (plus basement) house and my sister had to walk through my room to get to hers. plus only one TV. there was no place for me to go to escape my family (only one bathroom so even that was temporary). fast forward a bunch of years and it was just me in that same house and I basically lived on part of the first floor. one bedroom, the bath, and livingroom/kitchen. the upstairs and the basement and the spare room were basically closed off (from the HVAC too) essentially making a tiny house and it was lovely with just me and my dog.

yup, they all have the same junk headlight switch design.

thanks!

score! soooo much glorious info in the window sticker! can you email me the fullsize image of that? comancheclub@hotmail.com

I promise, you're not alone in liking them. color matters though, they look nice on a white truck for sure.
