    Front drive shaft is hitting

    I didnt know that (obviously). Thank you for the info. I went from an 86 crossmember to an 81 and my front driveshaft was hitting but only slightly.

    Front drive shaft is hitting

    CSFJ, was there a difference in frame widths between half tons/ three quarter vs one tons? If so, could one even bolt up a one ton cross member to a half ton frame?

    Front drive shaft is hitting

    I had this issue when I swapped from the mm7 to the current trans, sm465. I cut the crossmember out of the way, just enough to clear the driveshaft and welded a plate to reinforce it I'll try to post a pic later.

    I am looking to buy a k10. How to choose?

    I'm a firm believer that driving a standard is a lost art. Most young people are lost when they see 3 pedals. If your son can drive a standard well already, either one. I would go part time 4 wheel drive personally

    Check power to the pump to eliminate broken wires also, make sure to check the ground as well.

    83 K10 Quad Shock Removal

    I can't remember where I bought my springs but I got the HD front and rear. The rear is fine but I wish I would have gone with the 3 leaves up front. 4 makes for a rough ride but hell, it is a truck. The hydro vs. Nitro makes the ride so much better/smoother

    83 K10 Quad Shock Removal

    When I put new shocks on my mine truck I went with skyjacker hydros. Rides alright considering 4 leaves up front and 7 in the rear

    Sm465 locked up in granny gear

    Is the end of your shifter worn down? I've seen it where the driver constantly held his hand on the shifter while driving, it creates extra wear on the shifter end that contacts the shift forks and the shift forks themselves. Novak makes a solid shifter which is really nice. You feel more...

    Ford top loader on GM truck??

    Didn't ford use a driver's side drop on their t- cases? If so, not only would you have a ford tranny but a front axle as well, then you have to make sure the spring perches were the correct distance.

    Sm465 ticking noise

    Try holding the tension on the shifter and see if noise stops, I had to rebuild the top of my tranny because the forks were worn out causing it to clatter

    Swap a th400 for sm465 worth it?

    I didn't know that, so if someone wanted to swap to a 350 from a 700r4, just get the appropriate adaptor and run existing driveshafts?

    Swap a th400 for sm465 worth it?

    As long as you don't mind slow shifting, I'd go for the sm465. I really like the creeper gear, very useful for a truck that will be worked. Plus you would feel more hp and torque compared to the robbing th400. I believe the granny isn't the same length as the auto so you might have to find the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I like your mod, never too much light. I've seen the ones that fit between the hitch and receiver, didn't know if they'd be worth the money though
