    SM 465 rebuild?

    I am not sure I asked this before and if I did I couldn't find the thread..... I was wondering what a ballpark estimate would be to get a SM465 transmission rebuilt? I know it depends on what it needs after it's opened up and all that but what trying to figure what I might expect. Also if...

    Window regulator

    Ok, thanks guys. Trying to paint my house, tear down a old garage, pour a large concrete slab, build a new shop, keep the waist high weeds at bay on top of normal everyday stuff so the window may take awhile to get to. Being disabled I have to hire laborers for the first time in my life for...

    Brake controller

    I think a lot of it has to do with regulating stupidity. People have no common sense anymore and don't adjust speed and account for stopping distances so they have to make sure they account for most of the variables when your towing something. And with no personal responsibility acceptance and...

    Window regulator

    My drivers door window don't roll up worth crap. The crank will turn about 80% of a revolution then stop, you have to back it up an inch then go back around and it stops again about where it did before. So rolling the window up is a long process of playing with the crank to get it to go up...

    Brake controller

    I don't REALLY need one, the truck has more than enough brakes for what I need but I have to rent a small tractor with a bucket at Home Depot and they require you to have trailer brakes. I have to go about 3 miles towing this across my small town and think it's silly but their rules are their...

    Brake controller

    I need to put a brake controller on my 88' R30 and wondered if any of them came prewired for them that long ago. I know a lot of the newer trucks come wired for them but didn't think the older ones did and don't know when they started doing it. Never put one on before and wondered how hard...

    OEM Tire size??

    Sorry, been extremely busy for awhile lately. I checked the rear and it still has 4:10's which is what it came with from the factory. So all I know for sure is: 1. transmission has been swapped from a TH400 to a SM465. 2. The tires are 285/85-16 now vs. the 7.50x16 that were OEM which isn't much...

    Bench seat bolt problems

    I guess I will run a tap through them if I can clean them up and if not I will drill & re-tap to a larger size. Is it common for these bolts to come out? I had one laying on the floor and one just barely in.....

    Bench seat bolt problems

    The 2 front bolts on my bench seat came out and are pretty messed up (stripped threads). I was going to just drill out the holes enough to get 2 3/8" bolts through the holes and put washers and nuts on the underside of the truck and tighten them down.......... Any better idea's from any of...

    Dash was cut for DIN radio

    Bwaahaaaa! Have you seen my truck?!?! Actually I plan on fixing it up slowly, new doors, fenders, hood and interior. Already painted the bed and it looks 110% better & fixed tool box doors

    Dash was cut for DIN radio

    At least you can use a single DIN radio......mine isn't cut out and I don't know where to find a 2 post radio (without spending $300 on a vintage sound radio) Maybe I'll just cut mine out also........

    Shift pattern terminology?

    I have no intention of going with a different trans unless they are the same exact length so I wouldn't have to change the drive shaft & trans mount

    Suburban Trailer???

    I had 2 suburbans back years ago and wanted to make one into a trailer to pull behind the other one. They have so much room you could sleep in it and make it into a camper trailer which is what I wanted to do.

    Shift pattern terminology?

    If anyone is in the phoenix area and/or knows of one for sale in Arizona please let me know. I am keeping an eye on Craigslist and other places for one. It don't have to be a rebuilt one, just a good working one.

    Shift pattern terminology?

    Would absolutely LOVE to rebuild it but I no longer can do much work like that anymore AND I wouldn't know the first thing about doing it. I will either find someone to rebuild it for me or just buy a rebuilt one....

    OEM Tire size??

    I looked at TCI's site already and unless I misunderstood something all that stuff only helps IF you know your speedo drive gear size. I guess I will have to pull the gear out of the trans and see.........OR just live with the 10 mph discrepancy at highway speeds. It's not my daily driver...

    OEM Tire size??

    OMFG! Now I have a headache trying to find this info! I found everything I need to figure this out I think EXCEPT how to know what your drive gear size is in the transmission. It seems to me the only way to tell is to take the trans apart and visually confirm which drive gear you have? Seems...

    Shift pattern terminology?

    Ok, This is probably going to be the dumbest post EVER!......but I just want to make sure I am on the same page with everybody else...or at least most of you. So this is what my shifter looks like: So when you guys talk about gears do you call "L" 1st or is "1" first? I just read a post...

    OEM Tire size??

    Ok, checked the loose glove box door and found the sticker still there. It says originally it came with 7.50-16 and after looking up that in metric sizes and comparing it to the 235/85-16 that is on it I should only be experiencing a 1-2 mph difference at 60 mph. So tire size isn't the issue...

    OEM Tire size??

    Thanks for the info, I do not have any door stickers on the truck for reference. The glove box door is in one of the toolboxes with a broken hinge (which I have a replacement) so I will go dig that out and look for a sticker. It could have had a gear change at some point I guess, I have no...
