Welcome to GMSB Ryan. Let get this straight on your details.

You mention 85 3/4 ton, and a 205 Tcase. So that would be a K20 right? And what about this 86? It's also a K too if you're wondering what trans and Tcase to go with right? Is it K10 1/2 ton , K20 3/4 ton or K30 1 ton?

What problems are you having with the transmission? What's in the truck now? Is it OE (Original Equipment) ?

We like porn too. Need to see some pics of these trucks. If you want fire up a build thread for each one in the under construction section as most of us have done. Plenty of help here, you won't need much luck.

Now I see this post. So that was the 86 you sold? Still got the 85 K20 though right?
