Yup, I can't get to my casting number, I just checked, but this is my balancer. I think it's a 400

I made it all up for my Dodge military/Power wagon trucks. I modifies with adapters to work with these Chevy trucks. It bolts to the door hinges and door latch. I put a hand crank winch to make it easy to roll and hold till I lock it in place.

Pulley is on the outside so you can loosen and wind the other way if pull needs to be opposite. You can balance a cab straight but it will overcenter at one point. need to do the floor, front cab mounts and inner rockers so this will make it easier for me.

Life has a way of slowing you down but got the k30 back together and just took it for a test run. No leaks, shifted fine and everything works so that is a win to me. 38.5" Boggers with a homemade 2 inch body lift and reworked the front fenders for more clearance. The will be a work truck and will be loaded/unloaded constantly so I want the frame as low as possible. I'll make the front bumper and bed next Winter.

New inner door panels came today and got the interior better. Had gotten a new rubber floor a while back.

Sold to me as a 1980 with salvage title but looks to be hacked together... The B for year has me puzzled as well.

B should mean '81
