    need some help to finding the correct gaskets for my np205 swap

    Yes I'm going from np203 to np205. I don't feel like spending $150 on a rebuild kit for 3 seals. The tcase is in good operating order. I just want to replace 3 seals while I'm there.

    need some help to finding the correct gaskets for my np205 swap

    I was going to do that for the flat gasket if need be, but I need to know what seals I need for the other ones.

    need some help to finding the correct gaskets for my np205 swap

    Hey guys, I got some questions. I'm swapping over to an NP 205 this weekend, and I tried looking up the gaskets for the rear driveshaft to transfer case, the big flat gasket between the NP205 and "center support" (it mates and supports the tcase and trans on the crossmember), the 2 lip seals in...

    Looking to rebuild a TH350 and add lockup

    Okay, So I read the stickies and I've been trying to look into rebuild kits and the parts needed to convert my TH350 to a TH350C. What rebuild kit should I use? I want something that'll easily handle 350-400whp, and I'd probably tow with it down the road. I also want to convert it to a lockup...

    Having a hard time deciding between TH350C and 700R4

    So I lost 3rd gear in my TH350 two days ago. I've been planning to rebuild a spare TH350 I have with a nice rebuild kit and converting it to a lockup style. I feel in terms of strength and moderate fuel economy, this would be well rounded with 3.42 gears and 33inch tires. However, my buddy...

    ISO black 3 point seat belts + middle lap bet, LS 4x4 swap stuff.

    I changed the color of my interior, and now I need the 3 way driver and passenger seat belts, and the middle lap belt. Preferably the best condition possible since most of my interior is new or redone. I'm also planning an LS swap. Engine mounts, harness, fbody or vette exhaust manifolds, maybe...

    85K5 5.3 future

    I'm going to start my LS swap next month. I'll be keeping my TH350 to be cost effective and reliable. I'm also installing lockers in the diffs, and I think I'll be using 3.42's, maybe 3.73's. I have a TH350 to rebuild on the side that I'll be converting to a lockup style. My hope is to be around...

    14ff/8 lug setup vs. 12 bolt 6 lug setup

    Oh ok, I thought the c-clip was the weak point of 12 bolts. Thanks guys.

    14ff/8 lug setup vs. 12 bolt 6 lug setup

    Ahh ok, that makes sense now. Silly question, but if I had disc brakes and I broke a c clip, would I know it right away?

    14ff/8 lug setup vs. 12 bolt 6 lug setup

    I'm running 33's for now, and I'll most likely be running 35's maybe next year when I lift the truck. However I'm not looking into that anytime soon. Don't I need the c clip eliminator as well to strengthen the 12bolt? I don't want to do all that work just to leave a common weak point. Or am I...

    14ff/8 lug setup vs. 12 bolt 6 lug setup

    Hey guys, So I'm at a crossroads in my build. I have a 79k10 with a th350/203, 12bolt rear and corporate 10 bolt up front. I've been thinking about doing lockers front and rear, doing a manual locking hub conversion up front, and doing a c clip eliminator kit and disc brake conversion with a...

    Blazin' Offroad tube bumper

    I'm curious if it's hinged for tail gate access as well. Also, I have a "passive" interest in it. Do you know the weight of it? Could you get me a shipping quote? Again to be honest I'm only passive about it, so don't go out of your way to get a quote. I'm just curious if shipping with be brutal...

    Where to get body mounts? Not polyurethane.

    I got a body mount and core support kit from LMC. Hopefully by Saturday I'll have a review of it after my cab swap.

    What grit is good for sand/media blasting frame?

    While I appreciate the idea, I'm not going down to a bare frame. It'll be a complete rolling chassis and I'll just clean it as is and just mask off the engine and trans. Again, it's not a frame off resto, it's just a DD truck that I'm looking to clean up relatively easily.

    What grit is good for sand/media blasting frame?

    I'll be using POR15. I'm not looking for a factory smooth finish, It's going to be a winter daily and off road rig. So if sand is my best option, what kind of grit should I use?

    What grit is good for sand/media blasting frame?

    Hello, I'm about to finally do my cab swap, and while I'm there I'll be cleaning up the frame. What grit and type of media or sand would be good to clean my frame? It's mostly surface and light rust, nothing too funky looking. Thanks!

    Nice! I really appreciate the detail in the build, you're helping myself, and I'm sure others who are planning to do this.

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    I didn't even think of that either. I have a gallon of POR 15 waiting for my frame when I do the cab swap. I think I'll just go carpet and throw some rubber floor mats down for winter and 4wheeling.

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Damn, it sounds like a hassle. Maybe I should just bedliner the floor lol. Thanks, I'll take a couple days to really think about what I want to do for the floor.

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Nice find, and thanks! How was the fit? Was it a lot of work to get it in, or any trimming needed?

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Yeah I forgt about that too, carpet would dry out much quicker than a rubber mat. Granted I'm doing a cab swap and I'm epically prepping this cab to avoid rust, maybe I am better off with carpet. I will be off roading and winter driving this thing often.

    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    You guys have a point, and the 12ga is a good idea. I can be very indecisive about mods and I like the idea of wiring an amp in for the speakers. I'm not a sub guy, so wiring an amp might be a good move if I'll only have 4 speakers.
