    What do you guys think of this th350/205 combo

    It's getting that way down here in the states too. I would rebuild the trans or have it rebuilt before I even thought about putting it in the truck. You don't know how long it has sat there on the floor. You can rebuild the 205 on the bench with minimal tools.

    What do you guys think of this th350/205 combo

    BUY IT and don't look back. I paid $300 for a 465/205 combo back in 1991 FWIW. I see the 350/205 going for $500 +. They are not as easy to find as they once were. Most people like the old style with the rear yoke as opposed to the slider style that you have pictured. I have the slider style...

    Body mount bolts

    MY 2 Cents FWIW. I would use a round metal cutting hole saw bit and cut down through the floor. Once through the floor I would either weld the nut to keep it from spinning or put a wrench on it. I would weld the nut though before buttoning up the hole. I would weld the cut piece of the floor...

    lifted 6" k10...best shocks for smoother ride

    Nick my advice is to shop around for shocks. They can be ordered according to your lift size. Check the usual places summit, four wheel parts but also look at Arizona desert rat, Rocky mountain offroad- I think is still in business. I used to order parts from those guys as well as Fly N Hi too.

    lifted 6" k10...best shocks for smoother ride

    I lifted mine 6 inches so I can get back on some of the oilfield roads to go hunting. Hey when they have a skidder standing by and all the oilfield trucks have a pipe bumper with a hooking loop made out of welded steel, well you know you best have some good tires under your truck.. As far as...

    Spartan Locker in GM 12 Bolt Install Help?!?

    I put one in my dana 44 front end. It wasn't too hard. I had to remove the carrier and ring gear to get it to fit . If you have to remove the ring gear, I marked mine so it would go back in the same place. I don't think it matters but I didn't take any chances. The instructions were pretty good...

    Sm465 whirring noise

    I bet money it is the pilot bearing. I bet they just left the old one in there instead of replacing it. I did this to my truck once. Yeah it made the exact same noise. It goes away with time. Like two months time. A long time. Never make that mistake again. I was young. Live and learn. BTW- you...

    Want a tach........

    OK I am going to be the one to ask. How much is this setup going to cost? I have an old Sun Tach mounted on my column and I like the in dash one better. Edit- I just checked the link for the price.

    dual shock option help

    I have a dual shock set up on the front and back of my truck. I have a 6 inch lift on it as well. My truck rides a little stiff. Now in all honesty I have a pretty stiff lift kit under my truck anyways. My front spring has 6 leaves and it is very heavy duty. It was made by a company called...

    Sm465 question

    Make sure the plate that the pedals bolt too is included. If it not a hydro setup, make sure it has the springs, z bar and the piece that bolts on the frame. That piece holds the Z bar on.

    Running a 4" lift and 37s??

    I have a 6 inch lift kit and a skinny 37 would be very close. I am thinking a slight fender mod will be needed to make it fit. I don't see how a 37 fits on a 4 inch lift unless you do some major trimming.

    door and fender help

    Thank you Keith for posting this. I am not a body guy and I am going to have to do this so your help is really appreciated. This post should be a sticky on door/hood/fender alignment and adjustment. It would help out a lot of us old guys and even more new guys and gals.:) Great info. Thanks again.

    already want a bigger cam

    The old 5.0's are no slouch. I never raced one. I did race a Dodge Daytona and a Trans am back in the early 90's. We were rolling about 15 - 20 mph and hit it. These were fairly new cars back then too. Both were standard shift also. Both lost. The guy in the Daytona was pissed too. Oh well...

    already want a bigger cam

    I think you meant to say new mustangs.:) Joe has the right answer to your question Nick. You have to remember you went from a longbed to a lifted shortbed. You dropped probably 200-205 pounds just with the bed alone. Not to mention the fact your driveshaft is probably shorter in the new truck...

    On door weather stripping

    I just looked for my 2014 LMC catalog to see if it was in there. I couldn't find it, I think it is in the garage, so I looked at my old 2004 edition. That one shows a door weatherstrip for 1979 to 1981 models. It is fastened by two screws and held with adhesive in the middle. The screws are...
