Borg Warner cast iron 3 speed auto, Dana 60 full floater rear axle with 4.10 gears and a big azz cast iron FA-12 front axle. I put 235/85 16LT tires on it to kill the gear a bit, but this is not much of a highway truck!

No power steering and non power drum brakes all around. These might be winter upgrades. It does have that nifty knob on the steering wheel that helps when turning the damn thing...
