Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab



So yesterday was a really nice day and so I put as much stuff back together as I could. I got the front axle and rear axle installed (Need to replace the rear ubots) and also got the 6.2/SM465/NP205 into the frame and started looking at options for mounting the SM465/NP205 to the frame. I am going to go with the cross member out of my k20 that mounts to the bottom of the frame, I am mounting it to the bottom of the frame to drop the transmission/tcase down about 2 inches to get a better angle for the drive line. I am also going to be dropping the carrier bearing down 2 inches which I think gets rid of my pinion angle problem. I plan on taking the frame up to the local drive line shop and see if they think that will work, and also have them cut down the first part of the 2 piece rear drive shaft.
