    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...

    leveling truck

    Since I've pulled the 3" body lift off my truck, i have 4" suspension with rear blocks. Currently the front is sitting about 3/4" lower than the rear. 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. The first thing i plan on doing is take the 3" body lift out and doing a shackle flip in the rear to get rid of...

    For on top of the leaf springs you mean?

    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?
