Those look like some fun toys.
I was about to hit the like button, but couldn't because of the Cracker Rap.

Steering column is soon to be done, was needing to run the wires for the cruise control down inside it ..
Got a unit on order ..

Also the parts for completing the dashboard are down to one item yet to nail down ...

Was running some "Mickey Mouse" on the wiper switch knob in order to blend in with the rest of the factory knobs ..

Acquired a adapter that allows for using a Oem knob ..

Six inches short ..
The strut rod was made for the THM 350 trans and NP 203 transfer case ..
With the 4L85E and two adapters now in play got a whole new ballgame ..
The 75 K15 never had the strut rod, figured it might come in handy ..

Looks good so far. Probably a good idea to have, I never put them back on my own rigs. Now I think a little differently lol

This may also be a good idea .. ^

The Original NP205 / NP203 PTO support kit. After several customer requests for a simple means to support their 205, we are now offering a solution. Use this to help prevent your factory adapter from cracking under load, or use this with one of our clockable adapter kits or clocking plates. Mounts in place of your factory PTO cover on your Chevy, Dodge, or Ford setup. This kit has been purchased, installed, and proven by hundreds.

As with all our kits all required Grade 8 hardware is included. The supplied bushing is 2" x 3" with a 9/16" x 4.5" Grade 8 bolt and nylon lock nut. Weld up the tabs in the desired rotation for your application.

Not sure what years was equipped with them.
They were called "Transfer case torque mount" .. Looks like they did the same job as the aftermarket mount I posted earlier ..

Broken motor mount might had a hand in that ??

Thanks for your post, been intending to change out the rubber motor mounts for some .....

Energy Suspension Motor Mount Inserts​

Energy Suspension's motor mount inserts are crafted out of Hyperflex polyurethane, a material much more durable than rubber that can handle the intense weight, heat, and pressure. Designed to fill the voids built into your OE motor mounts, these inserts will drastically increase the power transfer efficiency from your engine to the wheels. Since the voids were initially put there to reduce NVH, it stands to reason that filling in those voids will have the opposite effect. Installing Energy Suspension's Hyperflex motor mount inserts may increase your NVH, but the increase to overall performance is worth it to some drivers. To top it off, all of Energy's motor mount inserts are covered by a two-year warranty handled in-house here at DST.

These motor to transmission strut rods was recently added on to the to-do list ..
Had to buy a new oil pan cause the one I been running was a circle track with bat-wings .. Which was in the way of the rods ..

This new pan is also six qt. pan without the wings ..

You must be registered for see images attach


More like seven qt. with the monster oil filter ..

While I'm doing the work changing out the oil pan, going to install new Energy Suspension motor mounts ..
The mounts that are there have many years of service on them ... New won't hurt a thing but for my wallet !!
