Bro wish you lived closer I NEED that bed lol.

C'mon brah, we're trying to talk the guy into keeping it a complete truck and not part it out. So, noone needs any parts off of it you know.

 

[smurph20]

Well he done said hes gonna take the cab off and his brother is getting the running gear lol

 

[HotRodPC]

Yes he did, and we're gonna change his mind.

 

[smurph20]

Ok your closer find me a straight unbent nonrust longbed lol for cheap

 

[HotRodPC]

I've got 3 of them, just needing a little work behind the wheel, and I do mean, very little work, otherwise fantastic condition. BUT, not for sale. Sorreee !!!

 

[smurph20]

LOL theres a lot of them around here but need A LOT of work lol just like mine

Mine have been pretty much FREE cuz of the way I bought them, then sold other parts that came with them. Once I bought a frame, chassis and bed only for $100. No cab, front clip or drivetrain. Sold the rear end for $100, so the 2/4 drop kit for a $100, kept all the new Moog front suspension parts, Kept the bumper and used it on the K1500 I think it was, kept the bed of course, and scraped the left overs for about $45. So I made profit and got the bed, all new tie rod ends, idler and pitman arms etc. Oh and a fuel tank and brackets too I kept. That is the blue bed pictured on my blue 84C20. Tailgate was great too.

thats what i hope to do, get some money out of the deal, or at least brake even and get a free cab for my 79

oh i noticed yesterday when i was over there taking pics, one of the 4 bolt holes that bolts the tranny to the bell housing had broken off, is this thing junk now or could someone swap the internals? is it worth anythinhg now?

Is the ear that is broken off still there? If so, have it tack welded back on. It's a cast iron case. If not, it'll depend how much hp/tq you're putting on it. And which side is it? Driver side needs more strength in most cases, but, I'd run the thing. With the other 3 bolts, and the nose cone fitting tight into the bellhousing, you should be OK with light to mild use. If not, yes the internals can be swapped over and I find SM465's all the time for $50-$100.

 

[79K10]

yeh its the top passinger side and no i dont have the piece, must of broken off when i was pulling the motor... if i can get 50-100 ill be happy, im not sure if my bro is gonna want to use the transfer case, should be worth another 100 or so right? then the bed for 150-200 and theres my 400 back, and ill still have the front clip to sell, 200 for the whole clip? ive got a few adds on CL so ill see how it goes. thanks for all the info guys. ill post some more pics of the 79 when i have a chance to work on it, dizzy is going back in tomorrow, im gonna try and fire it up, its been almost a year!

What? You're selling the trans and Tcase too? I'd give you $100 for the T case.
I just checked my local CL, 2 SM465's for $75 each and that's befire I'de get to work him over and get'm for $50 each, so you better stick to $50 on your broken one. Hell go for it, ask $100 and let them talk you down. Honestly someone might buy it just for the SM465 to NP205 adapter cuz I do know of 2 people who broke their SM465 adapter. I am interested in the Tcase though. It has the same spline count as Th400. I wunderr how much freight would be? Probably enough to kill the deal. Those NP205's aren't light. But honestly, you can get more for that Tcase. Honestly If I were you, I'd keep that NP205. Especially since you're running a NP203 full time. Keep that bitch for yourself. It's better than the NP203. NP203 is full time and chain drivein, NP205 is part time and gear to gear, no chain to stretch.

 

[HotRodPC]

BTW, there is also other tricks in hooking an NP205 and an NP203 together as a doubler and you have a twin stick Tcase with some mega crawl ratio. That's for the heavy duty wheelers and rock crawlers though. Very doubtful you need it, but I would hold onto the NP205 for a swap. You might even need to so a Th400 swap with it, but then you'd have a bullet proof tranny/tcase train.

I've got one of those adapters and I can't sell it

Also, that np205 will not work behind a TH400, it will only work behind a 465 with a 10 spline output. You can swap a 27 spline input into the 205, then it will work behind a stubby output th350 or a 700r4 with a spacer. A 32 spline input won't fit into the case because it uses a larger bearing.

im really not sure if the np203 i put in has a part time kit or not, if it doesnt ill probably pay the tranny guy one town over to swap it in for me, i really dont want to open it up but would like the part time kit.

my brother said he wanted the axles and drive train for his yoda but today hes not sure if he wants to do it, i think he thought i would do it for him, but no, im not working on his truck, i hardly have time for my own. may end up selling the lot minus the cab/title i think youre right on the doubler, id never use it
