    700r4 swap

    And yes I am familiar with the tv cable and its adjustment. Does anyone have a link to how to wire the lockup without buying the kit?

    700r4 swap

    Well crap, it looks like they are about 2-3 inches different. th350 is shorter and has the 6 inch tail housing. So shortening the driveshaft should be good??? I'm also looking into the lockup wiring. Is this what is needed...

    700r4 swap

    I've done some reading and not really finding a good answer for my situation. I bought a crate 350 hooked to a remanufactured th350 for my 79, 2 wheel drive short bed if it matters. I found out the th350 is really a 700r4. I'd like to use the reman 700r4. I've done some reading and some say to...

    Short bed measurement needed

    Thanks guys, that should be good enough. I can get the 4x4's cut and attach whatever i'm going to use in the stake pockets when I get there.

    Short bed measurement needed

    I'm going to be picking up a bed for my truck. Can someone with a short bed get me measurements from center of stake pocket to center of other stake pocket driver side to passenger side? I will be transporting it upside down on 4x4's with something attached to go into the stake pockets.

    gas tank info please

    Here's your pic. It's a 2 barrel and the motor is a 77 305. I opened the carb up and the float is fine...needle is fine...plunger looks fine. still no gas flow. Like I said, It is getting gas out of the line that goes to the carb. I just want to be able to move the truck if needed. I got a low...

    gas tank info please

    I bought a hose, unhooked the hose from the mechanical pump that runs back to the tank, ran the new hose from the mechanical pump to the gas can which was on the ground in front of the truck. The new hose is 4 foot long and the gas in the can is ethanol free. I eliminated any potential issues in...

    gas tank info please

    I bypassed the tank by using a gas can. No luck = same condition. I should have just started at the line that goes into carb but didn't. Carb gets gas at the line going into it but the gas does not get into the carb. I did change the filter in the carb and tested without the filter. I'm thinking...

    gas tank info please

    Ok, I ran a hose from fuel pump to gas can with no luck so I might not have to drop the tank. The carb is getting gas to it but that's where it stops. I ordered a rebuild kit, maybe a float issue??

    gas tank info please

    Cool. I was checking on a filter and found there is only one in the carb. I wondered if there were any rubber lines in the tank that might deteriorate. As soon as I don't have to lay in snow I'll check it out.

    gas tank info please

    The 79 I just got had been sitting for 2 1/2 years and will not run without pouring gas in carb. I was told it was running about a year ago. I replaced the fuel pump and it still has the same condition. I know there should be an inline filter somewhere along the fuel line but is there anything...

    Grill refurbish

    Sorry for the square body rookie question. In post #2 animal says "I think most folks use the "Argent Silver" paint on the grills and headlights." So without looking at my truck I assumed people painted the headlight bezels with it. I was talking about the chrome flaking on the bezels. I...
