    Name that sound!

    I have been trying to locate this sound for some time now. It seems as though it's coming from the front end somewhere (maybe driveline?). It comes about sporadically and only when I'm driving above 20ish MPH. It may sound like a whistle from the wind but it's not. It's kind of a metallic...

    NP203 Conversion Kit question

    Alright, I contacted Mile Marker and was able to get some clear answers. I'll clear this up for anyone in the future who may be searching for this. Mile Marker no longer makes the kit to disengage the front end because of the availability of the transfer case chains. I believe they make chains...

    NP203 Conversion Kit question

    Not all 4x4's do though. If I'm not mistaken there's several transfer cases which DO NOT turn the front drive shaft. So I guess the "part time" kit is a sham if it doesn't really do anything? Because even afterward the transfer case is doing the same as if it weren't converted. Basically all I...

    NP203 Conversion Kit question

    Yeah, it's in 2wd (the old 4hi position). So whats the point in putting the kit in? If it's always spinning the front end just not the hubs unless they're locked... Couldn't you just buy manual hubs and put them in instead of buying the conversion kit? Because essentially, that's whats...

    NP203 Conversion Kit question

    Hey guys! So I'm kinda stumped. I've been doing my research and now I'm retiring the search bar and google so that I can pick some of your brains. I just put in the Mile Marker 502 conversion kit into my NP203. The kit seems to be working correctly (t-case in what WAS 4hi with hubs...

    Harmonic Balancer Question

    Hey guys! I have a question about the harmonic balancer on my truck. I'm trying to eliminate a noise from the front of my engine. I have a 1987 350 in my 77 pickup. The question is: Is the harmonic balancer from a 1977 350 the same as one on a 1987 350? I'm curious because I know the engines...

    Intro #2!

    Oh man! It's been a while since I've been here. Well, I've got some updates for you guys. Sorry it's been so long. I had a crazy term at school and wasn't able to do anything until I came home for spring break! I think I'm going to keep the original paint scheme when I repaint it. I'm just...

    Intro #2!

    Goodness. Well, I've been at school about 5-1/2 hours away from the truck, so I haven't been able to do anything. However, I am trying to sell some of the parts off of it. I've got other stuff going in/on the truck :) Here's the link to the ad. PM me or call/email if you guys want/need...

    Intro #2!

    Definitely Dave! I'll let you know. Hopefully it doesn't get too messy haha. And the snow wasn't too bad. Not exactly my idea of a day of fun though ;)

    Intro #2!

    Thanks HRPC. I'm going to patch the floor boards in those small spots on the passenger side pretty soon. I'm dreading it but I need to tear the dash out of the truck and clean up under there. There's some mouse nests and all kinds of dirt up in there. The dash pad is going away any way, I'll...

    Intro #2!

    Here's what happened this weekend! I drove it back through almost 100 miles of that snow with very little tread and a transfer case that didn't want to stay in 4x4.

    Intro #2!

    Haha Minor details, right? Dont worry too much HRPC! I'll take care of this square! Really though, I'm excited to get going on this. The cash flow factor kind of slows down the process though!

    Intro #2!

    Pictures coming tomorrow night! I got the truck back over the hill this last week and in my driveway. It had all kinds of rat/mouse crap in the truck. Mouse nests and POUNDS of dirt/dust were vacuumed out! I tore out the carpet and insulation, took the seat out washed and hosed out the cab. Now...

    Intro #2!

    Hey, thanks Dave! I'll keep you posted about that engine. I'm going to do some work on it here this week. Shawn- Seriously! If no one here has ever done one of these I'm going to attempt to build one that's similar. I'll be sure to take tons of pictures and document it when I do. It won't be...

    Intro #2!

    Has anyone seen these grille's around? I found them on 4x4 Mecca. I like the idea of putting aux/driving lights in the grille space. Does any one have any designs like this or something similar? Just curious. I think I'd like to do something like this eventually. It'll be this or something in a...

    Intro #2!

    Thanks guys! I'll be sure to keep updates coming as I dive into it. It's finals week here at school so it's been a little crazy but this Christmas break I'll be getting some stuff done on it hopefully! Also, just throwing it out there. What do you guys think of a similar paint job to what its...

    Intro #2!

    Thanks! I'm excited. It's a little rough but the body is in good condition and the interior could have been worse. A little body work, clean up the interior, and get 'er driving... As soon as I get it where I can work on it! It's gonna be a little while (a month or so) before I can REALLY get...

    Intro #2!

    So I did an intro a while back but I had some set backs and wasn't able to do anything with my '77... Until today! Here's some pictures. It's a bit rough but over all in good shape. I need to figure out what engine this is. I'm almost positive it's a 350 from (what my grandpa SAYS is) an '87. It...

    New guy!

    And by the way, thanks for your input and thanks in advance for all the help HotRodPC! Just makes me more eager to get this ball rolling.

    New guy!

    No worries, I figured! haha Everything is still up in the air until I get this thing. I was thinking aluminum because I've seen a few guys around here pick up a perfect set pulled from the u-pull-it for dirt cheap. However you made a great point about those vortec heads! But we'll see what...

    New guy!

    haha I'm sorry! Maybe I can get some sent to me before then. But yeah it's been sitting for about a year. I'm already making a parts list for this thing. As far as that engine goes when I tear it down I'll get it bored. If I can find a decent set of aluminum heads I'll snag 'em. Along with that...
