(unless you're bill....) don't u just love buying parts? i know i do... have fun!

FYI 1980 didn't have a t18a & d20. 77-79 did. 80's had a t178/7 & d300. Had both an 80 and 78 with FSM's

Something to consider...

And I'll go one more year, 81 had an SR4 and D 300

It's a sickness, and it's contagious. I have 3 and 1/2 Jeepsters in my yard now, 1 belongs to a local kid I "adopted" and I am "instructing" him to swap out the 225 for a 4L Vortek engine, power steering, etc. It's like having a retarded helper.
