NP205 4L80E conversion help

I'm using the Advanced Adapters conversion kit # 50-0410 for my 2wd 4l80e swap with the NP205. I'm having a machine shop handle the tcase install...- Hottytoddy06

Cracked frame/shock mounts help

Cracked frame/shock mounts help
Yes, I was thinking about grinding out the cracks and welding back over them. I also saw this alternate mounting brace kit on ORD's website. I may give it a try also. https://www.offroaddesign.com/rear-shock-brace-kit-for-73-87-91-k5-blazer-jimmy-k10-and-k20-pickup.html- Hottytoddy06
