From my experience, the synchros suck in those trannies. Both the 5 and 6 speeds. Learn to double clutch.

almost got you beat....
My cheap tow rig...'95 F-250, 4" lift, xlt, 460, auto, a/c, power doors & locks, $2000. It was a theft recovery a friend of mine bought at an insurance auction. I had the rims/tires laying around...glad I didn't have any takers awhile back in the for sale section 'cuz it turns out I needed 'em.

What kind of tires did you end up putting on it? I can see why you want my rims........ Don't know if you know this but in this months issue of Four Wheeler, National Tire and Wheel has the black rockcrawlers in 16x10 for 65 bones...Type 51 I think. Unless you got somewhere locally that you can get em.
