Maybe, shes so rusty though, chips fall off when you slam the doors. One of the rear shackles Is almost rusted through too. Its crazy how these trucks rust. Its also crazy how cramped the cab is. Even my 88 chevy was so much better designed in the cab especially. I know, preaching to the choir here, this is a chevy site!

Thanks Ryan. I'm still looking for the parts for the other cummins at some point. This one has the overdrive after the np205, per Gearvendors install instructions. Does this np205 have the same output shaft as the one in my ochre truck? Trying to figure out how easy it would be to swap in the K20. Still surprised this truck had one with the 3.55 gears.
