Here you go fellas! Latest as of today before the exhaust shop. Pick it up tomorrow morning. My bed need some serious attention

so don't mind that haha

I don't know if I missed it somewhere, but I'm curious what you've done on the tail of your transmission here.

Was this originally a 4wd trans?

skoffice · 07-02-2011, 04:40 AM

Yes it was a 4wd trans, and it has only 10k on it so my boss and I made a tail housing on the lathe and mill that allows for the yoke bushing, VSS, and standard 2wd mount. It's quite short but being a 2 piece drive shaft, the slip movement wasn't an issue. Rather than source another trans with the same amount of miles, or tear it all apart to convert it, we machined a couple chunks of aluminum.

**Captainfab** · 07-03-2011, 12:39 AM

That's interesting.....

So the output shaft was the correct size and spline and also tapped for a bolt on yoke?

You guys did a very nice job. You know there might ba a market for something like this. In my area about 95% of the newer trucks, Burbs, Tahoe's, etc. are all 4wd. So finding a 2wd trans isn't all that easy.

skoffice · 07-03-2011, 02:37 PM

It's a standard 27 spline slip yoke that I have on there, so it's not tapped its a slip, but now that you mention it you could do a tapped yoke with a slip shaft if it's a one-piece and it would work great. The shaft on the 4wd trans is significantly shorter, so It only has a possibility of maybe 1" of total slip. I had thought about the idea of making the part, but unless we could get everything CNC'd for a good deal, it would be more cost effective to just buy another trans almost haha. There's almost $300 in materials alone there.

Joemomma1 · 07-07-2011, 02:37 AM

Man you guys have some skills. looks good.

skoffice · 08-26-2011, 04:11 PM

I know this thread is more than a year old, but I wanted to know what kind of seats you used and how hard of an install it was? Would they fit into a '73 C10?
