    Questions on broken np205

    I asked the owner and he said that it is because a ujoint broke which i dont believe at all. it's a shame because i really would like the truck. i'm just not sure if i want to drive 2 hours one way to look at a used up pile of parts.

    Questions on broken np205

    What about the housing around the rear output shaft? would one off any 205 work? I suppose maybe if the adapter broke it could lead to that housing breaking if the truck was moving

    Questions on broken np205

    I found a truck I am considering to buy and it has some issues that I was hoping someone here would have some insight on. The owner says that the adapter plate between the trans and tcase is broken, along with the driveshaft adapter. I know it is a sm465 and i believe it is a np205 from the...

Ideally id like the truck to sit completely level. what is the easiest way to achieve this? also i wouldn't mind lifting the rear another inch...

    Radiator question

    I picked up a 4 core radiator/transmission cooler for my 77 and i was wondering what one of the inlet/outlet holes is for. Sorry i don't have pictures but it is the 4th one from the bottom on the passenger side. Obviously there is one for the lower radiator hose, hot trans line, cool trans line...

    exhaust

    heartthrob said something about the rear leaf springs but i really dont think there is any differences that would affect exhaust. Sorry guys but im not ready to grow up yet, it will probably get straight pipes first and then ill add glasspacks when i get annoyed of the sound

    exhaust

    i want full tailpipes though with either glasspacks or no mufflers at all. i can do all the welding and hanging by myself at home, i just don't have a bender/expander

    35" on 4" lift

    I just picked up this 1977 GMC K20 camper special and I have a few questions. Currently its lifted 7", 3" body lift and 4" suspension (rear block) with 35x12.5x16.5 BFG all terrains.

    Swamper Tire size

    I'm going to look at a set of tsl's advertised as "9/34-16lt". does this mean that the height sidewall and width of tread will be 9"? and since it is on a 16" rim it will be roughly 34" tall? so it would be considered a 34x9x16?

    One Ton swap

    It will still have a narrower spring perch even though they are both 14BFF? If i do a shackle flip would i need to get the kit for a K30 then? since both 14 bolts are 4:10s would i save myself some hassle by just using the one currently in the K20 with the 56" springs?

    One Ton swap

    I stumbled across a D60/14BFF combo near where i go to school. Set came out of a early 90's one ton single rear wheel crew cab, 4:10s. Axles are still attached to the frame, my question is if i go about buying the set, what will i all need to be able to swap into a K20? my plan was getting the...

    Budget Build Lift

    lots of different ideas. my plan was to swap the 3/4 tons in and do a rear shackle flip with 2" lift 56s in the rear with some 6" lift front springs. my only concern is how hard it will be to piece the lift together vs. buying a complete one.

    I was told they wouldnt work on a SRW unless you buy 2in spacers or have them recentered.

    Military Beadlock rims

    I was just wondering if the 16.5 military beadlock rims fit on regular 3/4 ton axles. the offset looks very different from stock wheels. im looking into a set with the magnesium runflats for mt offroad wheels but dont really want to have to run spacers. I currently have a d44 front and ff 14b...
