1973 Jeep J4000 (3/4 ton) 1972 455 from a GP, 068 cam, reworked 3 tube headers headers to clear the front driveshaft on right side, reworked OJet, T 400 transmission, shift kit, 4.10 axles. Towed, pulled, plowed until 1999 with it when the rear frame rail succumbed to rust near the shackle mount.
I sometimes wished I hadn't scrapped it, but at the time I was divorcing, so didn't have the means, to keep it, nor a place to fix it.
