so i really want a comanche and i found a 91 the down side is it has the 2.5 motor and its 2wd but it is a manual tranny and they guy only wants 1000 for it. should i get it? how hard is it gona be to swap in a ho 4.0? and does it have the good manual tranny? and will i need to replace the tranny when i conver it to 4wd? i allready have a spare 231 and a d30.

 

how is the rust?

I havent done a 4.0 swap so i dont know the difficulty behind it. you will need a new trans for the 4.0 and it needs to be a 4x4 trans. i bought my 4x4 automatic AW4 for $75 off craigslist when i did my 4x4 swap.

 

very little rust nothing that couldnt be easily repaired. the major down side for me is the motor. plus he says its high millage.

 

Commanches are getting more and more rare to find with a good body. I would grab it up and do the swap if you have money for it. Prolly looking at about another 2 grand thougj after all is said and done.

 

i would buy it

 

Comanche's are nice, But if your going to buy a Truck go full size like a J10,J20,J4000, or kaiser

 

I would rather have a manche to wheel though.

 

ya if i got a truck it would be more for wheeling and less for hauling large loads.
