That is a nice looking truck, I never heard of the wrangler option either. The 700r4 swap shouldn't be difficult in that truck either. The frame should have holes already drilled to move the cross member back something like an inch or so. I cant remember if the 400 has the same output and over all length to say that the drive shaft can be reused. I know the turbo 350's that came in these trucks are identical to the 700r4, all that needs to be done is moving the cross member back in the already drilled holes. If you come across any troubles feel free to hollar at me and I will help you out as much as I can. Do you know what gear ratio you are running in the rear end? I know when I first got my truck it had 2.73 gears with the 700r4, and I actually got worse gas milage till I swapped in a 3.73 rear end. I used to drive around in 3rd all the time even on interstate till the swap.

Hey nice truck buddy. Ya Wranglers are pretty common in Canada. I see lots in Saskatchewan, but there all beat up and rusty. Good lick with the swap.
