Well I did it, bought an 85 k10 with hydraulic clutch and 3.73 axles, so now I’ve got to strip what’s left of that truck for mine. Going to finish my k5 blazer before starting this project.

It’s getting closer to swap time, I believe I’m going to try and get the advanced adapters driver side slave bell housing if I can ever figure which part number it is. I’ve found one for swapping nv4500 to older 350’s? Is that the correct one? Part 712577? I’m starting to collect the final parts before tear down. I’ve got 85-87 hydraulic pedals, 3.73 axles, nv4500 ext slave cylinder, all waiting to be installed behind the 5.3. It will be nice to finally have a vss and speedo again and not have a shifter that moves 6-8” left to right in gear. And yes, I did replace both roll pins, and weld the end of the shifter, better, but still sloppy.

@iamtherealJayy

Do you have vacuum or hydraboost brakes?

I have several pedal assemblies. I'm thinking I need to thin the herd. $400 shipped if your interested.
That seems pretty hefty for thinning the heard and I don't even want a 3rd pedal lol

Supply and demand. I'm selling them for what I paid for them. Of course, they're much more on fleabay but they're hard to find now. At least $50 of that is shipping cost. It's gotten ridiculous.
