Slim to none? It hard to believe but I found a complete 2001 dodge ram offroad with 39k miles that is being parted out on craigslist. Its in steubenville, OH. They still have the front and rear axles with 4.10's. I've been tempted to make a call and see what he wants for them. Offroad edition axles have gussets i believe on the front axle to make them stronger. Not sure but I think they do.

 

I actually live about 30 mins south of steubenville, that would work perfect for me, was you planning on buying these?

 

would it be possible to put a standard transmission in this or would that be a rare find?

 

They came with manuals, but yes, they are a bit rare. And it is 'possible' to put one in..... collecting the parts might be fun. Check junkyards in your area, and see if there are any in there with a manual, if you can find one still pretty much all there, yank parts wholesale. If you even think it might go with the clutch setup, take it.
