    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    So sorry, I haven't checked my notifications lately - absolutely, the whole driveshaft is still available and I should be able to pop the yoke off easily enough if that's all you need

    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    That's absolutely no problem, honestly I should've outlined that in the listing and it just completely slipped my mind! I'd also be happy to measure the diameter of the driveshaft (or even compare it to the one currently on my truck from the C20), all I know is that they're pretty clearly...

    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    @SirRobyn0 I'd be happy to only send you the back half if you're not using the front; I'm just trying to get rid of this, but you may end up saving on shipping if I only send half. I'll need to get some quotes regarding how much it'll cost to ship this to you, but as I said before I'm not...

    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    @SirRobyn0 Just realized I didn't get exactly what you asked for. If you meant literally edge of carrier bearing (bracket around bearing?) to weld on transmission output yoke it comes out to more like 24-5/8".

    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    @SirRobyn0 Not sure about any of those unfortunately, all I can speak to is that the SM465 is shorter than the saginaw :( Here's some quick (garbage) measurements, let me know if I can do anything to make it clearer but the welds were a little fuzzy. WTW transmission side was approximately...

    Spare tire!

    Also I want there to be no deceit here, they're dry rotting/cracking in some places. Again, a reason why they're great spares and not my everyday tires these days

    Spare tire!

    That was one of the problems I had when shopping FB for some BFG KO2s, they were all older than my existing tires. I feel like 7 years is getting on in the life of a tire, but I have no problem with a spare that old for some reason

    Spare tire!

    Oh yeah forgot to mention tires are old AF, but did I mention they're free? also I'm running it, so if I trust my life on this hot garbage why can't you

    Spare tire!

    Anyone need a 31x10.5r15 spare tire on a bullethole-style rim? I did, and paid $50 for the privilege (rim + mounting/balancing). Figure there has to be someone else running 31x10.5r15s with a spare 235/75r15 that is worried about getting a flat and blowing their diff by running a 31" and 29"...

    Manual Transmission "High Hump" cover

    1981-1984 (afaict) manual transmission (SM465) high hump cover. I bought this for my SM465 swap, but didn't realize that there were different shapes depending on truck year. If yours is 80 or lower, I don't think this is for you. However, this will work for any 4x4 or 2wd manual truck after...

    2-piece Long bed driveshaft

    Selling two-piece driveshaft from long-bed truck. Swapped from 3-on-the-tree Saginaw to SM465, don't need anymore. If I know anything about these trucks, it should fit any long-bed 3 speed column-shift manual or any long-bed automatic, but I still know shockingly little about these trucks so I...

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    No, I definitely didn't look into or even know about companies like that; great idea to keep in mind for future projects like this. I looked at some of the usual aftermarket places like Summit, Jegs, and RockAuto, but if they sold them the crossmembers were mostly just generic that would fit...

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    Wow, that's actually super neat; that looks a lot like the one that I have currently, I'm surprised I couldn't get it to work as it was. Went ahead and went with @bucket's suggestion and slotted out the transmission mount holes in the crossmember and it fits great; also had to grind a little...

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    OH. Yeah, that's an excellent clarification; I misunderstood and thought you meant slot the frame holes, not the crossmember holes, but that's so much easier. Sorry, brain clearly isn't firing on all cylinders right now

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    Yep, is offset to the rear; can't believe I didn't think of flipping it around, but I'll try that tomorrow when I've got enough light to drop the other half of the exhaust and see what it gives me. And that's a good idea to just notch the hole out, I was a bit worried about drilling more holes...

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    One other thought I just had - I do know trucks under a certain GVWR after 1975 had to have a catalytic converter, and mine used to be right on the driver's side where the muffler is (you can kind of see the heat shield above it) so that may have been by this particular crossmember was used in...

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    Well that's super interesting, for some reason I thought the W ones were only 4x4 crossmembers. I've seen a few other ones like mine in looking on the internet but they were all on 73-81 half ton pickups/suburbans; no idea what the full applications of this one would have been.

    2wd SM465 Crossmember

    Would like to start with an apology, as I'm certain this answer exists somewhere on the internet (or even this forum) but I just can't seem to find it. I am almost finished with a 3 speed column-shifted manual (saginaw?) swap to an SM465, last thing to do is bolt the crossmember up to the...

    Stranded… could use some ideas.

    So, I have no real basis for this but just gonna throw it out there in case it helps - presumably it's a hot day and you've been driving it a while, is it possible when you stopped at the parts store and swapped the fuel pump your engine got heat soaked? Mine used to do that (old carb, has...

    Differential gear conundrum

    Personally I'd just jack it up and take off the cover. Overall ratio will be stamped on the ring gear and you can turn the wheels while it's in the air to know if it's open or LSD

    Dumbo Mirror Question
