On my Blazer I have a 6" lift from ORD with all the options. DO NOT FORGET THE 2"DROP PITMAN ARM. This seems to be over looked a lot. your steering will horrible if you don't add that 2" drop pitman arm. Cross over steering would be best. I suggest getting all the optional pieces like the...

Newly rebuilt SM465 go around the $650 range. Not bad at all really.

The Ranger over drive is 6" or so long. I think Advanced Adapters sells them now.

Sounds like you might need a rebuild. Getting worn inside. How many miles on the trans?

Back in high school I had a girl friend who's parents owned the True Value Hardware store in Pacific Grove. One day Her and her friend drove the True Value flatbed delivery truck out to my home in Carmel Valley. There were many a stop light in between those two points. That poor SM465 lol...

Are you double clutching?

Thank you for this write up. I am now armed with the information to pick up the correct NP241. Thanks.

Thats true. So far no square bodies with Tcases. Thanks.

Today I went to the local Junk Yard and found the very elusive TV cable bracket. I found it in the very last vehicle that possibly could have had it! I also found a suburban that was 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton model that use to have a 700R4. Well the Trans, Tcase and steering column were missing...

Here is the speedo gears page. For the 700R4 you need a driven gear adaptor to match your tire size and gear ratios for a correct speedometer reading. This page has the chart needed for you to determine what driven gear adaptor you will need. For me I will need the #42 Driven Gear 90 degree...

Well that would be nice! Just checked and you are right! Thanks for the heads up. TH400: 24-3/8" Mount: 2-3/4" Total length: 27-1/8" 700R4: 23-3/8" Mount: 3-7/8". Total length: 27-1/4" Height wise I'm not sure what the difference is but should be real close to what it was with the...

Im having them building the 700R4 using a "K" code 700R4 case. The "K" is embossed on the upper side or on the side (Passenger) of the Case. Ive seen them from 4" tall to about 6" or 7" tall. The "K" case was used on all of the K series trucks and K5 Blazers that came with a 700R4 from the...

Took the Campulance out for her maiden voyage Yesterday with the wife. Here is the thread: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/sedona-arizona-broken-arrow-trail.202218/

My Heater was missing when I picked her up. Oh well. Love the factory fuel filler. I just need the inner and outer fuel filler boxes.

PIGGLY WIGGLY: The first market that let people do there own shopping. I sure love that engine you picked up!

After reading the entire thread yesterday I think my next project will be to replace all my fuel lines, belts and hoses. Thanks for posting.

Well you just doubled your mileage. Thats a pretty good start. I installed a second tank on my M1028. My plan was to wire in a switch to change my fuel gauge from one tank to the other. That way I didn't need to add a second fuel gauge. I had planned to use manual valves like you did. Mine...

NICE JOB! I'm really digging your extra fuel tank install. Thats on my list. First a 20 gallon side tank and a 50 gallon rear tank. 90 gallons total. Cant wait to see her done.

I fear the 1/4" Header flange is simply to thin. I suspect you will have warping and exhaust gas leaks. For me 3/8" would be minimum. Your build is amazing. Your work and attention to detail says allot. Thank you for this thread.
