hey guys, I have a 1956 M54 gasser. I only drive this truck to MV shows, never on dirt. everything works fine and runs great. what are some options for stopping front end and transfer case turning?

de-splined front hubs, drop front drive shaft, air shift for sprag ?

do not want to make any irreversible changes to the truck just don't want anything turning that's not necessary.

does the air switch basically cut off air to the poppet valves?
I've heard that just putting on de-splined hubs causes the sprag to constantly stay engaged

Freewheel hubs only really 'work' With air shift properly.
With the front propshaft removed there is 'no weight' to a make fuss of.
