TSL Super Swampers on pavement?
It's been a long time but I daily drove 38" TSL's for years on my old truck. I loved mine but I understood the "cons" of a running a tire like that. Loud? Yes but not as loud as Boggers. Certainly noticeably louder than any radial mud tire. Perform? Ok on the street, for a big mud tire. The...- nvrenuf

Replace front Seal in SM465 with Trans in Truck?
either / or…. Both ways are a lot of work, the job can be done both ways, I guess I’d go the cheaper route of the 2. May I ask why it’s important to have a “period correct” motor? Both can run on TBI. Visually, the difference is the valve covers and the dipstick (and the intake bolts for a...- nvrenuf

Transmission identification help?
The transmission is most likely an sm465 but there no good pics of the transmission itself, just the parts on it (PTO, ebrake, etc).- nvrenuf

Questions about... My rear end?
You’re want the best of both worlds which is only going to come from an expensive selectable locker that you can turn on & off. For strength and durability, short of a spool, an open carrier with a Detroit Locker is what you want BUT they default to being locked so they can be unpleasant for...- nvrenuf

Questions about... My rear end?
Something to consider is that the D60 most likely has 1.31" dia axle shafts so they don't offer much of a strength upgrade over a 1/2 ton axle other than the better weight bearing design of a full floater vs semi floater axle. The ring & pinion is bigger than 1/2 ton and the Power Lock is...- nvrenuf

Leaf Spring Torque
A lot of people view ubolts as a 1 time use part. That said, I’ve reused a lot of them and I’ll be reusing my current rear ubolts when I do an upcoming project. IMO, the quality of the part plays a big roll in their reuse abilities. I probably wouldn’t reuse lift kit ubolts because they’re...- nvrenuf

battery junction Block issue ( see photos)
No offense but you've repeated this multiple times now so I'm guessing you're hoping someone will clearly say "you don't need it". The fact is that in OE configuration it serves a purpose but once you've done a motor swap with a completely different (modified) harness that includes another...- nvrenuf

Truck pulled while still in park
Does the external selector have one or multiple clicks? My initial thought is that you may have broken the parking pawl inside the trans but if the external linkage to the column broke who knows. Pull the pan and look for bits and pieces?- nvrenuf

is this a Frankentruck?
The 400/203 will be ‘79 or older. Technically, the 400 could be newer but the tailshaft required for the 203 is unique to that combo so it’s likely that it was all installed together. Also, I don’t think the th400 had become the default 3spd auto yet in ‘85 so it’s unlikely that any th400 came...- nvrenuf
