Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Cool hopefully they aren't super rare/expensive down there. I go over the scale pretty regularly and front axle is usually 3500-3600 lbs on it. Believe GAWR is 4500. A big block, winch and cab full of people would get you there.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Going rate is $900-$1000 down here. So it will have to wait a little bit still.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Buff job coming along nicely. Still need to order new seals and see what trim pieces I need.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Door seals, channel felts, window seals, auxiliary seals, I think that's it?

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Thanks! I used Wanda for the base coat and southern polyurethane for everything else including the clear. Great products!
With any luck I'm going to be picking up this truck in a couple days pilfering the Dana 60 front end and the th400/205 combo and selling the rest to a friend.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Working on it! At this point the only thing holding me back is my financier. All my money is tied up in my kitchen remodel. So my buddy who will be taking the body and frame from me is loaning me the dough!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
You going to keep the 205 or convert the newer t-case to the 400?
Although the 205 is beefy, I would personally prefer the gear reduction of the newer case, especially since the first gear in the 400 is not as low as a 700R4/4l60E. Also spring mounts for your chassis and cross members, aftermarket or wrecking yard sourced? I'd be tempted to run B52's up front with factory shackle mounts and factory 4wd front mounts and a flip kit in the rear. Maybe even sneak some 1 ton 64" late model springs out back. Paint job looks great buy the way! |

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
94-02 2500 and 3500 4x4 Dodges have a 4" cast block in the rear of them as well. The only problem you might run into might be the ford and dodge springs are wider than the older chevy ones. I almost went with a 241 for my 76. I still might if I can find a core at a decent price.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
I like the 241 idea. The TH400, adapter, and 205 can be flipped for good coin and the 241 is more than adequate for normal use.
