We have a member who deals with solid axle Toy swaps all the time in his shop.

Driving across the country is something the 1st gen will never see. It wont go over 60, and tranny slips WAY to much. It will be a trailor queen, just hope the 98 can do it, or my moms Yukon will be borrowed most weekends.
Crash, you wouldnt happen to be able to make me a SAS kit, APs kit is just way to much $$$.

Target Date to have SAS complete is 01-01-03
