    Shifter Knob

    There was another style between those 2 that was sort of mushroom shaped, I’ll post a pic in a bit.

    SM465 will not go into 2nd

    The gravel sound while moving in 2nd isn’t normal. The very low volume rattling at idle with the clutch out could be the throw out bearing moving a bit (my 06 Dodge does this sometimes) however if it’s loud it’s a problem. The sm465 transmission does not like or want to downshift into 2nd...

    350 to 454 swap, 73 c30 questions

    The p/s pump brackets are different. I’m 99% sure the fuel pumps are different, the arm is different if memory serves correctly.

    1987 k30 manual transmission, transfer case, installed in a 1974 k20 .

    If they are both pick ups and the same basic ride height, it should fit. If the K30 was a cab & chassis truck then you'll have to install everything and break out the tape measure.

    Tire damage

    This ^^^ If you've ever worked in a tire store you've seen a lot worse drive away. Is it right? Not really. Is it junk? Not really. Definitely glue or vulcanize that flap down to somewhat seal it. Moisture could get inside the layers and cause the steel belts to rust which would lead to...

    Firewall mounted terminals

    It is a distribution block. Constant power is fed to it from the fuse block (via harness junction block plug on the firewall below the wiper motor) and then, typically, it may feed the starter, alternator, etc depending on the year model, options, etc. Some of the outgoing wiring would have had...

    72 nova turbo 400 to 84 chevy k20 compatible?

    Maybe…. Is it a short or long tail 400? If it’s a short tail then with the tailcone removed the tailshaft should stick out 4.5” from the case. The 4.5” stick out will work with a PRE ‘85 np205 with a tall figure 8 style adapter and a 32 spline input shaft. What trans/tcase are you currently...

    What gears

    It probably wouldn’t be unreasonable if the motor isn’t crazy. My 454 w/ qjet gets about 10 mpg’s running 55-60 mph (5.86 gears and 40’s). It gets less with other carbs.

    Radiator question for an inline 6 250

    No, typically they will have a pipe thread or flared type fitting.

    What gears

    Having overdrive allows you to run more gear than the typical 3spd truck (of that era). Also having 35's now and wanting something bigger really means you need to be choosing a gear ratio for the future, not today (even if they are installed today). Gear swaps are expensive and require a certain...

    8' bed question

    @idrivea2002golf I've been for one of those full diamond plate tailgate covers. If you budget that bed and we can figure out how to get it to Alabama I’m interested.

    85 K20 Scottsdale intermittent headlights

    I struggled with no headlights on my Blazer for months that turned out to be a loose male spade connector in the engine compartment side of the wiring harness bulkhead plug. I fought this on the weekends for months and was at my wits end. I Hail Mary purchased a Power Probe and had it...

    8' bed question

    As state, they should interchange. there are only 2 size beds, 6' and 8', anything else is likely custom or aftermarket conversion.

    Transfer Case Info for OEM Squarebodies

    To be clear… The pre ‘85 205’s GM used had 2 different input shaft bearing sizes; 10 & 27 spline were small and the 32 spline is bigger. All of the ‘85+ GM 205’s had the big bearing because they’re all 32 spline.

    Maybe send the seller the original pic and see what he says. It's not like you have anything to lose.

    How to switch from a DRW to a SRW in a 1981 K30 / 350 engine / 3 speed manual / 4x4

    As previously stated, you need to identify your rear axle. As for wheels, that’s a personal preference. The wheels need to fit 8x6.5 bolt pattern and be an appropriate backspacing to fit (about 4.5” or less), the width would be determined by the tire size and preference.

    How to switch from a DRW to a SRW in a 1981 K30 / 350 engine / 3 speed manual / 4x4

    To accomplish your goal you’ll get rid of all 6 current wheels and replace them with 4 SRW wheels. The wheel offset is dramatically different between SRW and DRW.

    How to switch from a DRW to a SRW in a 1981 K30 / 350 engine / 3 speed manual / 4x4

    The front is easy - Buy some single wheel bearing hubs and install them. The rotors are technically different part numbers but the different is the size of the stud holes, you can use the DRW rotors on an SRW hubs but you'll need to drill out the stud holes appropriately (likely an unusual...

    BBC heads??

    Sorry, I misread the post where you said you had bought the AFR’s. I thought you were still shopping otherwise I’d have kept my mouth shut. :crazy:

    BBC heads??

    Unpopular opinion…. I absolutely would NOT go to the expense of putting aluminum heads on a sub 5k rpm motor, what’s the point? I would put that $3k elsewhere. Since you’re obviously not going to spin it any real amount (1400-4600rpm cam) I’d put $1k or so into so OE iron heads. I’d get some...
