If you want to know the big tell tale QUICK sign of a A833, and I don't know why I'm telling my secret, is to make 4th gear an OD in tthat trasnmission, 3rd and 4th gear are actually reversed. Soooo, to keep the standard 1 2 3 4 shift pattern, instead of 12 43 position, the 3/4 gear lever is upside down. So 1/2 and R levers are pointed up, the 3/4 lever is pointed down.

It was the linkages that didn't look quite right to me, and now I seem to recall what you just said being mentioned in one of the other 833 threads on here.

I find myself really, really tempted to get this. Only beacuse I'll have everthing it's missing from the leftovers of my '87. I definitely don't need another truck, my '88 makes a great light duty run-about, and the D30 will handle the looking good/heavy duty end of things. Nope don't need another project, so why do I want it. Oh yeah, it's only about 30 minutes from me too. I need more property, then I think I could justify more trucks, lol

If that truly is a 4 speed automatic trans, that's a gold mine and it in it self is probably worth close to the $1000. It's still worth a $1000 all day long, put a cheap used 350 in it and run it.

 

[HotRodPC]

Mine might be for sale at some point of time if you become more serious about it.

Yeah Yeah Yeah, go ahead and dangle that carrot while I'm broke AF. Oh yeah, I have been for several years now. Really it used to not be that way.

What would make a 4 speed auto in that so valuable? I just now made the connection about the model year and 4 speed auto, but wouldn't that be one of the weaker early 700r4s?

You're right. I'd sure ask that first. I seen 3/4 ton and immediately thought 4L80-E.

Also appears to be a Semi Float rear axle, not a Full Floater. It still worth $1000 all day if it's not a rust bucket. The flat bed on it has a pretty fair value too.

yeah, I saw the ad, and just out of habit of having the 700r in my '87 3/4, didn't think anything strange about the it. I doubt I'll get it, unless it's still around after I finish disposing of the remains of the '87 and I get the '84 on the road. even then, still not sure what I'd do with 3 fullsize 4x4 trucks.

so would the 8 lug mean 32 spline NP208 if it hasn't been modified? Just curious.

Iirc, the 700r4 had the same 27 spline as the th350. The 32 spline t-cases came behind the th400, later m465's, and A833's

Correct !!! So if it has a 700r4 it'll be the 27 spline NP208, If it's a 4L80-E it would also be a 32 spline. I do highly doubt it's a 4L80-E though. Someone probably put a 700r4/NP208 out of a 1/2 ton.

Was just mentioning. I have no intentions of selling it, but if you were ever in position to buy and interested it might be available.

 

[HotRodPC]

NO worries. I've done given up on having one. I just want to get this get this K10/20 done so I can say I least completed 1 of my projects then I'll probably off myself and let my kids sell it for $500 cuz they won't want it, but hey, at least I'll have completed 1 of the many I had.

yeh wasnt sure if it was as easy as an "8 lug = 32 spline/4l80 if it's a 4 speed auto" or not. Was looking for a quick easy way to identify NP208 32 spline other than a having TH400.

So now the question is......did 8 lugs ever come stock with a 700r4? I'm on the assumption the 8 lug is heavier duty, and a 700r4 isn't heavy duty to me. Sorry for 'tarded questions....still learnin' axles.

It's a fair question. I don't know when they started it, but at some point in the mid '80s they started offering the 3/4 ton models in "light" and "heavy" duty. Light duty trucks cam equipped like my '87 did, with a 700r4 trans and a semi float 9.5 inch 14 bolt rear axle. The heavy duty version got the th400 trans, and a full float 10.5 14 bolt rear axle. both versions had the corp 10 bolt front axles, and both were 8 lug.

Actually somewhere in the early 80's, maybe even 81, you only got a 14b Full Float with a 454 whether it was heavy duty suspension or not. I'd imagine there is some variance on that, like special order and such, but as a rule of thumb, small blocks and smaller got Semi F, 454 got Full F.
