4l80 205?
I think you can do but but you have to check the length of the input shaft on the transfer case VS the output shaft on the trans. I think there was an issue with spline engagement IIRC. I was kicking this idea around for my 99 Burb but ran into problems with the VSS and whatnot. If it doesn't...- Berg

haha yeah he'd like my one of my friends yards before he moved. His grandfather had the remains of a farm with everything on it from the 30's till late 70-early80's. His dad sold the property off so they could make a golf course and a development full of cookie-cutter mansions that all look the...- Berg

In the background of this last picture you can see the 1975 Wrecker next to the 1973 K20, on the far side of that was the 84 K5, and the truck in the foreground was the other guys 85 K5. Looked great on the outside but this thing was shot! It had pushed snow its whole life, was on its 3rd or 4th...- Berg

Here is the K30 frame from one of my buddys 82 GMC. here is the 79 again with the new doors, but the old fenders. I ended up getting rid of the stupid zig zag in the blue stripe and made it more like the factory 2-tone paint jobs- Berg

Yeah that was my old shop. I split it with a crook. The guy was robbing me blind. I took care of that situation. I always wanted a wrecker too, and someone owed money for a dealership I was working at so I told him I'd pay off his tab if he'd give me his old wreckers. He had 2 of them. I'll see...- Berg

Yeah that compressor was being replaced with a york belt driven unit mounted above the power steering pump where a stock ac compressor would have been. That thing didn't put out nearly enough air and used to eat drive belts. it was only good for the air horn. I painted it rustoleum royal blue...- Berg

This is the shot of the truck after I pulled the remains of the boom out of the back of it. it had a botched up Holmes that was not done right at all. The only thing done right on this truck was the frame was boxed from the trans crossmember under the cab to just past the spring hangers. The...- Berg

Here is my old 1984 GMC 3500 I sold not too long ago. It was all original minus a bed swap with a less hacked up one. Someone tried making a 4wd wrecker out of it but never completed it and just made a mess out of it. I tried returning it back to stock but I ended up breaking my foot and was out...- Berg

Yeah I drive this thing all the time. I used to drive it just to drive it. It has more beach and trail miles on it than anything but I used to take it upstate and to PA and Ohio and stuff, Its been to Florida a bunch of times too. It has 3.08's in it so I can go anywhere without revving high. It...- Berg

This Blazer is the best plow truck I ever had. It does much better with the 8' blade but it actually fits in the garage with the 7.5. They are great because of the turning radius and they fit anywhere yet they still have the nuts to really push some snow. It does a really good job on driveways...- Berg

Yeah the 4 speed is great. I rolled it back in the trails for the power lines by my moms house. It was a wild night. It took a GI 6x6, shovels, a F*RD pickup and a case of beer to get it back on its wheels. I had sand coming out of everywhere for weeks! The tailpan was a real bitch to say the...- Berg

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm the second owner, had it since 1997. I got it with 139k on it, now it is up around 408k. I planned on restoring it when it rolled over 300k but it never happened. I replaced the tailpan about 4 years ago with a panel from LMC truck. Since then I sourced a 1 piece...- Berg

Hey guys, new to the forum but have had Chevrolet and GM trucks in general since before I could drive. My great-grandfather used to own a GMC dealership back well before my time. I still got my first truck, although I have owned a bunch over the years. It is an 84 K5 Blazer with a 350 goodwrench...- Berg
