    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    I might start a thread specifically about this topic, the possibilities of having a ford 3.03 in a Chevrolet 4x4, see if anyone else has heard of it...Ide think the only way it would be a Saginaw is if the guts (gearsets themselves) were made by saginaw, because the case is just too similar to a...

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    1) Morganton/Hickory area. The truck hasn't been towed to my place yet, but feel free to come take a look at it sometime after i get it towed. I'm stumped by the truck. 3) Ive been researching this for hours and hours...it appears the "imposters" were only versions of the 4 speed (3 speed with...

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    Yep definitely a rare combination! I'm still stunned to find a top-loader in front of a chevrolet-coded np208, and behind an i6 250, since that's the motor that came out of this truck. What are the chances of a small block Chevy motor bolting up to this trans? Is the bolt pattern on the i6...

    wanna see something weird? Check out the search results for a Ford 3.03 transmission. You get this >> Look at the resemblence. 1) Oil fill bolt is square and is tilted upward. Also notice the flat spot to the right of the fill bolt. They look identical... 2) neither have side panel, both...

    ok heres some more pics. Thanks again for all the help! EDIT: After hours of searching, finally found just one photo of another of these transmissions. Its listed as a Saginaw 3 speed, although no other picture of saginaw 3 speeds looks like it. Notice the resemblance to the 3rd picture i...

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    dad and a chevy buddy of mine also seems to think this is the best option. So the TH350 is definitely stronger than a 3 speed saginaw? Also the trans cross-member looked exactly the same as whats in my 79. I didn't have them side-by-side to compare, but the design and mounts were the...

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    So a while back I did a very idiotic thing and traded my 79 F150 SM465 NP205 for a 79 K10. Ive been building on the truck for a while trying to get it running correctly, removed the engine and semi-overhauled it, the TH350 transmission is fairly new (has about 1500 miles on it), but the truck...
