77 was not a year for factory fitted 4x4, you most likely have a custom job on a 2wd frame. Chop the front axel out of the 77 and weld back into the 71 (?) along with the engine mounts as 77 & 71 (?) mounts are different.

if I was so do it i would go grab a set of toyota 4x4 axles with solid front axle and the 4x4 transmission from another luv... or better yet from an 86-87 trooper 4x4 or a p'up 4x4 so u can have a 5 speed 4x4..
