Hey Rowdy11...Had to read through all of your build thread before responding and now have a full page of new questions! Won’t ask them all now, but will definitely keep your offer in mind!
Gotta admit your experience scares me a little as I do not want to (or need to) dismantle my truck. That band saw action would be a challenge with the np205 in the truck.
I am hoping to keep the NP in place and “slide in” an OD Tranny and LS motor.
That’s sounding a little simplistic after reading your thread.
Maybe the Sniper add to the existing 402BB is more in the cards.
Sure appreciate all of the comments and offers for assistance !!!
6L90e six speed sounds awesome! Extra challenges with that set-up I am guessing?

So if I am following you correctly since I am currently running a t350 I can assume that I likely have a smaller diameter input shaft version of the np205.
Is the 700R4 the best OD auto for this NP? Or does one of the the newer electronic versions (other than the 4L80E) mate up well?
Thanks again!!:metal:

The 700r4 will work with the case you’ve got. Several people on here have done that conversion. The th350 205 is the actually the best one to have for that conversion.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 
The 700r4 will need a new adapter type output shaft to mate to a 205. Not hard to do but make sure you get a 700r4 that is 1986 or newer as it is a stronger unit. The older ones should be avoided if possible. You can read up on it. I rebuilt my 700r4 with all B-M internals etc and was easy to install the new shaft at that point.

Here's my '68 K10 I brought back from Colorado the last weekend of June. Near as I can tell it's the original 250, SM465, and T221 setup. The frame matches the VIN as well. It still has the closed knuckle D44 and I believe the rear axle is a 12 bolt but I haven't got that far yet. I've rebuilt the carb, gapped the plugs (some had no gap), and corrected timing and it runs pretty good, though smokes a bit. It came with some odd bucket seat and I'm searching for a 67-68 bench seat to fix that issue. The cab needs some attention in the usual locations. The fenders are crinkled pretty good and the grille will need to be replaced as it got bent too. I was told it was an old farm truck and it shows, but the bed is from a newer model and in good condition for its age. The hubs are an interesting situation. The driver side has a full time cap and the passenger has a Warn hub. I wish I could find another one and get rid of the cap. All in all, I'm excited for this project. I've been looking for a K for a long time.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 
Heck yea! That’s a great looking ‘68. Other than the bed and the seat it looks to be pretty original. What are your plans for it? Welcome to the 67-72 K club!

Great score...Now the fun begins.....

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 
The plan is to get it back to original look and feel as much as I possibly can. I'd like to keep the closed knuckle but understand parts are getting harder to come by, especially the hubs. Based on what I can see (no SPID) the paint is the 506 Medium Blue Poly and I'd like to keep it that way too.

Haven't been on this site for a while. Here's my 69 original paint K10 that I put 3/4 ton axles under. Hopefully LS swapping it next year.

Haven't posted on this thread since it was painted. All painted, got the bed LineX done and this week it goes in for some clear bra.

That sure is a purdy truck. I like the Monte Carlo too.

What a '70s time capsule. I had a '72 blazer with the chrome smoothies and other accessories. Dual auxiliary tanks was one of the upfits. Looks good here and looks great now!
