    Looking for the name of this part

    My understanding is that it’s called a “gutter” but I doubt the average person knows or uses that term.

    SM465: Difference between 2wd and 4wd

    2wd’s were all short 35 spline. 4wd’s were either short 10 or long 32 spline, there are no 35 spline 4wd transmissions. Converting the trans would require 75% tear down assuming the parts you need from the old trans are good.

    Can you use a transfer case from my 78’ with a 4L80?

    Since we don’t know what kind of ‘78 or what kind of tcase, the best answer is IF it has a 32 spline input you MAY be able to adapt it. Nothing from a ‘78 anything will be a direct bolt up.

    Leaf spring mounts

    Spring hangers for a 1 ton will bolt to your frame however they are made so that the springs are closer to the frame than 1/2 or 3/4 brackets (1 tons are closer to clear dual rear wheels). If you install the 1 ton brackets on your 3/4 ton you will have to move the spring perches on the axle to...

    1988 v 30350 4x4 manual

    You should have a 32 spline np205. A th400 would have been the automatic transmission offered in that truck, you will need the correct trans to tcase adapter to bolt it to your tcase. The real trick is getting a transmission with the correct length tailshaft as they are not all the same.

    Wiring--Engine Heat Protection

    I use the factory metal tube plus a homemade bracket to hold the harness in place and away from my header collector then added some heat protective sleeve from Summit between the tube and solenoid.

    Show us your “Square Interior Pimpin”

    I don’t have much of an interior to pimp. In fact, I only really have a dash (plus Silverado seats and bare floor that will eventually get bed lined). Autometer gauges, a Coverlay dash cover and LMC trim.

    Would front leaf springs bolt up?

    Yes, they are basically a direct fit. The only trick will be the bolt size at the rear eye of the spring, 89-91 squares used a larger bolt than previous years. All you have to do is drill the shackles bigger or buy aftermarket heavy duty shackles for the 89-91.

    1985 K5 blazer, do they have rocker boxes?

    Rocker boxes were only used until ’75, there was no need for the extra structure in the ‘76+ Blazers since they had half cabs.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It’s a mix of 2-5/8” and 5” Autometer gauges. I used a hole saw and die grinder to open the stock holes to fit everything. I love the look of the Autometer gauges but it comes at a cost, their size doesn’t fit in the factory gauge housing so all that has to be scrapped. There’s nothing in my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally put my dash back together and installed my new to me manual throttle control, I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Fittings don't necessarily have a hex to grab so they're probably smooth to grab the side "shoulders" of the fitting.

    NEW PORT ENGINEERING. Wiper motors (new) anyone bought this yet? Pic inside

    Are these stronger or faster than stock or just a better quality replacement unit?

    Those pics are perfect, they show the absolute identifiers of the axle(s) in question.

    transfer case

    No doubt, that is a D44 - NOT a D60. A D60 only has one u-bolt on the diff side, D60's do not use the 3 bolt horse shoe shaped steering arm and a D60 has a 4 bolt cap on the top & bottom of the steering knuckles, not a single nut.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I'm pretty sure those weatherhead sockets are for 90 degree fittings.

    transfer case

    Probably. I believe it is however the D60 and D70 axles use the same cover and the D44 has the same shape it's just smaller so it can be hard to tell. Any other pics of the axle?

    Great info! I knew the ‘84 and older ones were different and figured GM carried on ‘85+.

    transfer case

    For square bodies, 3/4 and 1 ton rear axles use the same ujoint as well as all square body front axles use the same ujoint to both driveshafts will bolt up. Length would be your only issue. Wait, the connection at the rear of the tcase could be an issue. The dually tcase likely has a bolt on...

    transfer case

    No, the crossmember won’t work without spacers etc. The 1 ton crossmember is almost flat whereas the 1/2 and 3/4 ton crossmembers have about 4” or so of drop designed into them. GM didn’t use the D80 in squares so the seller is either wrong or it’s not original. The truck would have come with...

    lift kit identification?

    Longer springs in the rear are great and don’t really change things but 52’s up front are very noticeable. The 52’s won’t make it truly unstable but they will allow a lot of body roll, like a boat. I’ve got 2” lift 52’s on the front of my Blazer and even though lift springs should be stiffer...

    transfer case

    Yes, the th400 was the only auto used in the square body 1 tons until ‘90 (‘91 used a 4l80e). Fyi, be sure to get the adapter between the trans and tcase if you’re using the th400. The crossmember only fits a 1 ton frame, it won’t work correctly on a 1/2 or 3/4 ton. Glad I could help!

    transfer case

    If it is a square body, yes but not a GMT 400 (both body styles were available in DRW 88-91).
