1 pic should say alot... I opened the door to try to look at the shifter and seen I have aluminum steps for the truck. Lol
They look good I was surprised lol. I dont know what all is in there cause I have no place to put the stuff yet...
Marty good job...
Ours is Auto... with plans for 5 speed manual.....looking forward to it actually. Then after I get that done I will install a bigger cam aluminum heads make it look good and sound big. Lol
So to recap.... this truck sat with a freshly rebuilt 350 motor.... ( wait ) ... i hadnt dicected that only been told its a 350. Lol . Its Sat with freshly rebuilt turbo 350 tranny.... ( yes ) i confirmed that !!! Lol
And me being a mechanic tech for over 16yrs
I hadnt had the...
I have a good buddy that tows cars for a living and he says he can help getting the title changed ... ok ... great.... then more investigating.... so it seems by stories from my fiance's dad and younger brother that her uncle replaced the cab... oh. Ok ..... looked for the Vin tag...
Little story turned long sorry.... but the truck means alot to us....and after the purchase i started investigating.... so I find out that her uncle many years back like 1984 bought the truck from a little car lot..... ok .... well it seems they sold him a 1977 c-10.... yet its 4x4 ... huh
This is odd even for me. The story brhind the truck.... it was my fiance uncles truck project even for him.....we found out about it when my fiance listed their houss for sale after the passing of her uncle... ( covid victim ) .
We bought the truck and I havent even cleaned it out yet due so...
Thanks for the help...and informative info keep me posted....
But if I need to go with the nv3500 instead of the 4500. Then that may be the way I go
Gotta figure all this out...
Hold on guys im going to get a 205 if thas the most desirable case to have !
To find out that my 203 is full time all time im not good with that...
And if the NV 4500 is the best tranny then I will get that one too...only crappy thing are my driveshafts....looks like im gonna have to...
If i need an adapter then that makes my driveshafts the wrong lengths too... lol...
Ive seen a video were a guy has a 305 sb with 700r4 tranny and the swop to NV3500 np208 was all a direct bolt it...
Seems that im looking for a donor truck lol
