Re: Ugly, the 1985 k5 coming back from the dead

So the first order of business was to yank the transmission out. I'll be sorting the carb out while it is at the builder. So last night i finally got some time to go to the shop, and 5 hours later i had the trans out. The output shaft seems to have been modified or messed up, anyone know anything about this? My trans guy says it doesnt really seem to be a big deal. There werent many other issues other than the fubar'ed transfer case linkage and the driveshafts being wasted.

So the rear end is a 14 bolt 6 lug SF, what could this be out of? i need to find a ujoint that will fit my driveshaft and this rear end, anyone have any suggestions on what size i may need or where to find?

Also: i cannot seem to find where the speedometer cable plugs into this transmission, however it has some electrical plug and harness on the trans. Anyone have any ideas here?

Included some pics of the truck at the shop with its companions, ujoint issue at the rear end, the output shaft of the trans, and the gunky trans ready to be hauled off to the rebuilder. Hes going to put in a new HD sun shell, and check the pump and replace all wear parts, and seals.
