    ideas for taller nv4500 mount

    I didn't go to work today and my energy suspension mount showed up in the mail so I figured I would mess around with it. the cross member fit between the frame with just a little force no trimming. the spacers on the bolts and 1 flat washer filled the room between the cross member and the...

    my nv4500/205

    after going over a few ideas in another thread about the nv4500 cross member in a 1 ton. I came up with moving the cross member inside the frame. then using the spacer that was on the bolt and 1 flat washer to fill in the space between the cross member and the frame. it worked pretty good...

    87 Radio

    I would just put a nice stereo in it and be done with it. you can get a cheap kenwood or something like that that would be way better than the stock stereo.

    my first post in this thread I talked about moving the cross member inside the frame with it spaced up. I wussed out today and went the easy way to just get it in the truck. I had enough to deal with just getting it together and in there.:emotions122: my truck is not lifted and I have no...

    ideas for taller nv4500 mount

    after thinking about it just moving the cross member to the inside of the frame you could use the spacers on the bolts between the cross member and the frame to fill the gap and you would gain about 1.5'' I go back to work tomorrow when I go on days off again I will mess around with this...

    ideas for taller nv4500 mount

    moving the cross member to the inside of the frame was my first thought probably would only need an inch or so spacer on each side to space the cross member up after the thickness of the cross member you would need to trim the ends of the cross member to fit inside the frame I only...

    its in the truck now I still need to hook everything up and rework the holes for the shifters and I do not like the cross member hanging down so low. I used a cross member from a suburban. the 1 ton frame is 2'' taller under the cab so it hangs down more on the 1 ton. I had to space the...

    here are some pics I cut the square tube 9.5'' long witch was just a little wider than the flange on the nv4500 then drilled the holes just a little bigger than the holes in the mount for a little wiggle room

    the 1 ton frame is 2'' taller measured a couple different trucks just to be sure I built a spacer from 2''x2'' square tube I will post pics of it later tonight I am going to use the same cross member that is in your truck with the 2'' spacer for now. if I have any problems with the cross...

    my nv4500/205

    it does help with front drive line angle the truck I am putting it in is a cab and chassis stretched 2 feet so its long and has a long rear shaft. on a blazer or a short bed I would not use the spacer I would swap to a short input and do it that way. my reason for using the spacer is...

    my nv4500/205

    even with the spacer for the long input 205 I still had to notch the tail housing on the nv4500 for clearance for the 205 shift rail. I took the tail housing off and took it to the machine shop he whittled it out pretty quick. I went ahead and notched it out so if I ever need to I can run...

    advance adapters send some shitty hardware with their stuff. I replaced a lot of the bolts to grade 8 hardware. and they send threaded rod instead of studs with the t case spacer with nylock nuts and lock washers. the nylock nuts do not work they thread on until the nylon touches the threads...

    yep that is the 85 up cross member you need to space it up 2'' somehow I will measure a half ton and a 1 ton frame tomorrow and confirm if it is 2'' different for sure I will be using the same cross member I will be figuring this out maybe tomorrow in my nv4500 swap into a 1ton. I will let...

    the advance adapters t case shifter bracket is flimsy I am going to drill and tap a spot on the nv4500 tail housing and fit a tube across to the bracket so I can bolt the back part of the bracket to the tail housing(I circled the spot I am going to drill and tap in red in the picture below)...

    I would bet they used a 85 up cross member from a 1/2 or 3/4 ton as it is an easy fit. but I am thinking they did not make up the difference in a the 1 ton frame being 2'' taller if you are alright with the cross member being low then just cut a piece of square tube and space your mount up

    ideas for taller nv4500 mount

    what cross member do you have I am tossing around ideas for my nv4500 in my 1 ton the frames are taller by 2'' I think on a 1 ton if you use the 85 up cross member from a half or 3/4 ton your transmission is 2'' lower. the 1 ton cross member is almost flat to make up the difference in the...
