    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Hey guys, instead of posting a new thread I figured Id just post on this one. I just got back from buying a th350, th400, intakes, and a block. Anyways I was wondering what transmission would be the best to put into my truck when I start lifting it and putting in the 383. I have 2 of the 350s, 1...

    Racing seats-83 Silverado

    Just wondering if anybody's ever swapped out the bench seat for racing seats. Is it hard to do and what modifications have to be done for them to fit? Would it be easier just to put buckets out of a k5? I really want to put a B&M ratchet shifter on the floor and loose the bench seat. Any...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Hey guys, possibly found a FF 14 bolt rear end for 200 bucks. Only problem is that the guy doesn't know if it came out of one of his 2wd 3/4 ton trucks or 4wd 3/4 ton. He knows it's out of an 80's model square body truck. Is the perch distance the same in the 2wd and 4wd models, or are the...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Man wish I could find more deals like that down here! Most people think just because it's an old vehicle it's worth 5 times than what it actually is. I had been wanting a square body for a long time. I've always liked these body styles as well as the 88-98 body styles. Thank you again for all...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    I paid 500 bucks for this 83. Guy told me it didn't run and the transmission was crap. I checked it out anyways figuring I had a different motor/trans to drop in. Drove 40 miles to check it out and found a really nice truck. One dent in the passenger side fender and faded paint, but other than...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Sounds great. I've been looking on craigslist around here for a set of axles and not having too much luck. Guess I'll have to keep looking! Thanks for the reply, you've really helped me out a lot and given me some really good information.

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Thanks for the info on the SF and FF. What would be a good price to pay for a Dana 60 and 14FF? I've seen some sets on Craigslist but they want in between 900 and 1500 for the set. Too much?

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    I believe it's a stock rear end, but I'm not worried about it anymore anyways since it won't be a direct bolt on. When I look for a rear end, would a full float be better than a semi float?

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Sorry hotrodpc, the 3/4 ton axle I was talking about is one that I was hoping to buy and put under my truck. Mine right now has a 10 bolt front and rear.

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Well when I got under there I thought it was a 400 as well, but the bolt count seemed different. I read that the 400's were changed out with a 700R4, but again I only put it on the lift once and didn't pay too close attention. Also it's not too weird of a shape, but again the bolt count messed...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Thanks I'll do that. Also I didn't specify on my last reply, it's a 14 bolt rear end out of a 97 3/4 ton. After reading up online, maybe it is a 208 t-case instead of the 205? As soon as I can get it on the lift again I'll take pictures of both and put them on here. Thanks again for your help...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Thanks for the replie guys. I'm not exactly sure what transmission it is, I've only crawled under there once, guess I'll have to get under there again. Also I found a 3/4 ton axle for 200 bucks, but it's out of a newer 90's model. Will this still work or do I need to stick with the older model...

    One ton axle swap- 83 K10

    Hi guys, I just recently bought an 83 K10. It has a stock 305 with I believe a TH2004R transmission, NP205 transfer case, and a 10 bolt front and rear axle. I am currently building a 350 with a TH350 transmission which I plan to drop in place of the 305 until I can build my 450 horse 383. My...
