Tranny swap question

[Jrgunn5150]

I'll have to search that one out. There's a place about a half hour east of me in Imlay City that has a lot of rust free stuff, but not many squares ghe last few years.

Fortunately my wife dropped a pin there, it's Cliff's Nostalgia, 7050 N State Rd, Davison, MI 48423

Yeah. Cliffs is just north of me. He's still got the same stuff in the yard as he did whe I was in high school. Not sure where the rust free stuff is, lol. It sure isn't out front. I can't imagine what he's asking for prices now. 25years ago he wanted $400 for a bare Michigan cab shell, with some rust. Which is most likely why the same stuff is still out front.

I got a set of doors off him that were clean for 150 two years ago, for a 67-72, idk how he cycles stuff or whatever.

Pretty good price. Maybe he finally found reality, lol. When I get ready to source some stepside fenders, I'll give him a try again, see if my opinion will change.

I finally got around to going back to the junkyard today. They guys had found my spacer and were removing it when I got there. Just love those guys. We thought they had a flat flexplate, but they had already been scavenged. I also ordered a short shift shaft so I can utilize my current shift mechanism. I'm making slow progress.

Just curious. I wanna make sure we're talking about the same subject, cause you guys are WAY out there. The OP's question wasn't more on the lines of this???

My last post was an attempt to get the thread back on track. I assure you, my original question had NOTHING to do with the bearded guy. Haha

Honestly, I didn't figure it did...

So, I got the 700R4 out, and got another harness from a 6.0/4L80E to replace the wiring I cut out of mine, got the correct spacer for tranny/t case, and a flat 6.0 flexplate with spacer. Total spent so far: $550.

 

[Maaac1789]

That's including the 4L80E!

So I tore down the donor np208 I got from the scrapyard, and retrieved the input shaft.

Then, after I did it, I watched a video on how to PROPERLY do it. Haha

If you find any fuel fillers for a stepside there that you don't need, please let me know. I am looking for the early style without doors.

There's a pretty clapped out one in a p-n-p just down the street form me. It's pretty clapped out and rotted, but I can find time to stop in later this week and see if the filler(s? not sure if it's a dual tank or not) are worth salvaging.
