    New to square bodys, truck won't stay running

    Don't feel bad we spent over $5000 on a rollback at an international dealership because of a faulty fuse. If that's the worse you do, your going to be just fine man.

    Dana 80 for the rear?

    If the springs weights were the same I would use the GM springs. Just really depends on what your going for, stiffer spring worse ride but you have the capability to haul more weight. Look at your rear GVW on both trucks.

    Dana 80 for the rear?

    Calling me sir is like putting an elevator in an outhouse, it just don't belong. I would get springs in and just put rearend on perches and check the angle, I'm not sure how many degrees it would need to be. I'm sure some other members on here would know more about this.

    I have never seen such a setup in all my years of being around salvage yards.

    Dana 80 for the rear?

    I think the dodges sit up a bit higher in the front end. Are you still going to try to do the stock dodge suspension in the front instead of leaf springs?

    Dana 80 for the rear?

    Are you going to lift your truck? Lifting it will change your pinion angle.

    Shackle Flip Lift ???

    Boss drove his truck in today with 6 inch lift all spring in front and blocks in back and the bottom of his spring hanger is lower than bed side with a factory hanger. So it will show I was wrong before in thinking that it wouldn't.

    Shackle Flip Lift ???

    I'm pretty sure that you wont be able to see the hanger from the side but I'm not 100% on that.

    Manual transmission questions

    There isn't anything wrong with mechanical linkage, the hydro is just my preference.

    whats it worth??

    Not knowing if its good or not makes this thing go from decent money to a paper weight. Do you know any history on this thing?

    gas leak

    Not to bad to replace, you can split the hose if its bad comes off easy. Putting it back on is a bit harder heating the new filler neck to make the rubber softer will help.

    Lmc only shows 85 an newer that's what I was going by.

    gas leak

    If there isn't a hole in the tank then just replace the filler neck.

    85 and newer truck, burb or blazer. 1 tons are more likely to have it.

    Manual transmission questions

    Hydro clutch has less to wear out and is easier to work with in my opinion. It took me a while to find my complete setup, I got it for 150 shipped in.

    so i need engine swap advice

    6.2 or 6.5 would give you better fuel mileage, but they lack power. I would build a mild 350 with vortec heads and a good dual plane intake. That burb is heavy and torque is going to be your friend here. If you could handle it why not build a big block?

    Manual transmission questions

    If your planning on 38 inch tires then fuel mileage is out of the window now. Np 203 is fulltime with a chain, np205 is gears only. I think 4.88 would be too low of a gear on the street in my opinion. I would also recommend going with a hydraulic clutch setup also, but they arent cheap.

    Manual transmission questions

    5 speed nv4500 np241 transfer case 4 speed sm 465 np 205 transfer case. those would be my pick, if I had a low budget 4 speed would be your best bet.

    New to square bodys, truck won't stay running

    It almost sounds like a security issue or an auto shutdown relay, this truck shouldnt have either. The ether test would be my next step.

    New to square bodys, truck won't stay running

    After it dies from running the 20 seconds will it start right back up again?

    New to square bodys, truck won't stay running

    Ok temperature sensor is working correctly then. If the trucks cranks then you have fire, however are you getting enough fire and is it hot enough. You can tell by the color of the spark, I think its supposed to be blue but im not 100 percent on that.

    Dana 80 for the rear?

    It never hurts to ask right? As far as having a donor truck yours is perfect and great for a budget build.

    Motor Mounts?

    I seen this and jumped that definitely doesn't look like a good idea, a cross member is a must for your build.
