2spd Over Drive Install w/Pics

[vtblazer]

Installed an older style Doug Nash 2spd overdrive transmission in my 72 K20 4x4 in two nights, okay, two long nights. Took two of us about 12hrs total.

Things that had to happen:
1) Had a machine shop make up a stubby slip joint. 6-3/4" open/installed.
2) Had same shop shorten a drive line 29"
3) Earlier in the year when I had new flows put on, I had the guy tip them as much as possible for this application.
4) Scratch build a mount system.
5) Installed a two speed mushroom switch just like the big trucks use for their 2spd axles.

I ended up using a grease-able front bushing set I had from ORD for the rubber mounts, worked slick. Just halved the mounts and continued on.
