I have hired legal consul to know how to deal with some aspects of the aquisition and use this automobile.

Have you considered mounting the winch in the rear under the bed between the frame rails ?
I did this to my M52 and also one of my M1028's the works great on both.
I bought the parts to do it but I wont put Chicom parts on my trucks unless I cant find anything else..
I havent exhausted my options as I work in a Auto Electric shop and know I can find a butter relay than that POS from NAPA.
The limited slip diffs have a friction materials samwitched with steel plates.
like a positraction differential.
The side gears also may (I dont remember) have a spring between them as well or at least one of the posi's did that I worked on some years ago... The 12 bolt gm posi unit has a 4...
It was more of a liability issue I told a friend about this who works in a industry where he installs hyd equipment on trucks and other off road equipment and he said the liability of this is (his exact words) thru the roof...Part of the reason winches are usually installed via frame rail...
Another mod Im thinking about is either a cab swap or a transmission tunnel / hump swap.

I would think that a chevy Dana 60 would start at 1k and top out at 1750-1800 They arent as desirable as the high pinion ford D60's but depending on how fresh or new and what gear would make the price go up...
Here is a link to a pair the D60 and the 14 bolt take outs for 2500 for the pair...

You would most likely want to swap out (im assuming the 880 has a NP203 Transfer Case) for a NP205 as its part time and a much stronger case than the NP203.
Compare the center section location on the 44 you currently have with the D60 and the spring mount locations from the 44 to the 60.
Since...

The enlightened can always show the thirsty man where the drinking fountian is but cannot or maybe more to the point shouldnt force him to drink.... Also not everyone is ready for the responsibility of freedom, IE: if your ok with the chains of slavery who am I to show you the means of escape...
Very interesting that on every other board / forum I post any pictures on they come out fine....This is the only place that spins the pics at all, I capture pics and upload those and they dont require turnin at all.
IMO and according to Nevada law You only need "CDL" if you are driving in a commercial endevor. IE: You do not need a cdl if you are driving your own truck and you're hauling your own property if you are not for hire you dont need a CDL to be legal in the eyes of the law, What the law wants you...
