1990 GMC crew cab build

Last post was 18 months ago! Sheesh.

Was driving the truck for the better part of the last 16 months until the trans, transfercase, and engine decided they didn't want to live with one another anymore. Had to get towed home and it has sat since. I considered doing an nv4500 swap but they are out of my price range. I found an NV4500 and NP 205 for $2500 all painted up but still needed new seals and gaskets. I have decided to stick with the SM 465 and NP205, should be getting them this weekend.

Pics are of what was left of the trans and transfercase.

A week or so leading up to the failure I heard a noise in the bell housing. I assumed it was the throw out bearing and was just going to run it until it failed then replace. I think it ended up being a bearing but have not confirmed that yet.

I do not think u joints or shaft angles were an issue, there was never any binding or noise to suggest as much anyway.
