    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Hi everyone, that totally resolves my questions. You provided excellent explanations and advice, thank you! I'll see if I can provide pictures as I move through this. I haven't decided if I'm dropping the transfer case, if so that may provide more opportunity for better pictures.

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    I thought I would include the only 2 pictures from the manual that refer to the adapter. One of the adapter pictures shows the driver's side of the adapter (the rest is cut off!) and there appears to be a bolt hole on the driver's side, indicating there should be a mount there (seems to be...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Hey, sorry to carry this on, but I still need a little more info. Now that I've pulled the x-member out that the adapter sits on, I only have more questions. Attached are 2 pictures of the x-member out of the truck with the one mount in place. On both pictures, the left is the passenger side...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Hey bucket, thanks a lot for the advice. I'll get the rear driveshaft checked out. And thanks for the confirmation regarding the bell housing. Is it correct to say that the trans/transfer case are not directly bolted together, rather, there is an adapter between them, and the 2 mounts bolt to...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Hi all, 1980 GMC K15 with SM465 trans and NP205 transfer case. Trans and transfer case work fine, but when I get to 40 mph and higher the drivetrain sounds like it's rattling and shaking apart. I've never pushed it more than 60 mph as a result. Transfer case shifter also rattles like hell. it's...

    Please help with power steering box flush

    Ok, cool, thx for the quick reply. Any idea what is the total fluid capacity of the whole system (pump, box, lines, no cooler)?

    Please help with power steering box flush

    Hi all. 1980 GMC K15, 350. I am replacing the power steering pump and both lines. I have removed the old pump and lines. Can you please confirm if I should flush the old fluid from the steering box? If so can you please tell me the procedure? Do I need to install my new pump first? I saw a video...

    Vacuum connections

    Hello, I have a 1980 GMC K15 350 4bbl standard. I have a Rochester 4 bbl spreadbore carb. I have a couple questions about vacuum lines that are attached to it. The first is regarding the distributor vacuum advance hose. What is the module that is inline on that vacuum hose? It is circled in red...

    1986 Square body K10

    Hi all, I looked for a description on how to adjust the doors in these forums but couldn't find it. I did put PEX on the strikers and it improved things, but I still have to slam the doors too hard for them to completely close. They do completely close when I do that. Before I change hinge pins...

    Remove front propeller shaft in order to drop starter?

    Thanks for the advice Goldie Driver. Um, I should've put more effort into removing the starter and less into posting this thread. I was trying to remove the starter by dropping down between the driveshaft and the oil pan. Wouldn't fit. After writing this post I tried again and this time it...

    Remove front propeller shaft in order to drop starter?

    Hi all, need some mechanical advice. I have a 1980 K15 350 manual trans. I have unbolted the starter and disconnected the wiring. I was hoping the front propeller shaft wouldn't be in the way to pull the starter out, but I can't seem to move the starter down past the shaft. I also have...

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Just to confirm, I installed the pulse-type wiper switch and it works fine. Nice to have wipers and washer back. Thanks for your help everyone! Mark

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Hi HOTFOOT, yes, that's the kind I have (without the round knob and without the nice clear plastic cover that says "WASHER WIPER"). Thanks for confirming. Yeah bucket, I won't throw out my old pulse switch. Snoots, I'll see if Classic Parts, Inc. will just exchange the one I got (part # 67-656A)...

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Gotcha Snoots, thanks for the confirmation. That settles that. I have the pulse-type wiper switch, because the stem is round and it turns when I turn the knob. So I need Classic Parts, Inc. part # 67-656B "(1978-83) Windshield Wiper Switch". Wish I knew that before I started! Thanks everyone!

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Thanks 78C10BigTen for the tip on Rock Auto. I'll have a look. I just realized something (duh!!!) Even though I have the square standard switch knob on the wiper switch, if in fact I have the pulse-type wiper switch, then the stem that the knob is pressed on should rotate, no? YES! It does...

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Thanks a lot, dsteelejr! That really helps. Yes, looks like the same leads as my main set of leads. It suggests that my system is a pulse-type wiper switch. I'll do some more digging.

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Hi bucket, here's a better picture of the face of my old switch. Yes, my truck has wiring that plugs into the smaller connector.

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Hi SirRobyn0, thanks for the help. Sorry, I can't see any numbers anywhere on the old switch. There are numbers on the new switch so I illustrated that in the picture below.

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    The only other switch from Classic Parts, Inc. for my truck is their part # 67-656B "(1978-83) Windshield Wiper Switch". (The only difference is that the one I got says "without Pulse", which is part # 67-656A). And LMC Truck only has one switch (for trucks like mine without cruise control, part...

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    This shows the plug in lead at the bottom. Both switches are the same.

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Sorry, should've said the new one is on the right. I can plug in one part of the harness on the plug in lead at the bottom (next picture) but there's no plug in lead on the switch for the other part of the harness (like there is in the picture above on the left switch, half-way up).

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    But when I looked at the back of the new switch (waited over 2 weeks for delivery up here in Canada) I saw that a plug in lead is missing! Here's a picture of the back:

    Which is the Correct Windshield Wiper Switch?

    Hi all, 1980 GMC K15. Pretty sure the wipers are running all the time because of a bad windshield wiper dashboard switch. That's because when I hold the switch in just the right spot (near the off position) they turn off. So I ordered the switch on the right in this picture from Classic Parts...
