The guy that brokered the transport was a local long time friend of my uncle. The first driver was excellent, he called me at pickup, with travel and weather updates. Apparently his truck broke down and he stored it in a warehouse til the next guy got it. It's my guess that's where things went wrong.
Anyway I feel like I'm at the turning point and can start reassembly. The bright side is the blazer is gonna have a lot of new parts and I now know exactly whats been done, no more guessing. Should mean a lot less worrying and enjoying the outings with my family. My next biggest concern will be the wiring gremlins. I pulled a lot of useless wires and found a ton of bad splices and melted wires. I hope this thing still starts when the time comes. I was hoping to put the wiring off til the end of the season.
For anyone rebuilding or sealing a np205 for the first time the speedo sleeve seal isn't included in any kits. And as I found it has been discontinued, and used sleeve nuts were going for $40 on ebay. So after a lot of google searching I found an oil seal that fits perfect. So now the seal is replaced, t-case has a coat of paint and is ready for installation. I've also decided to give the HF trans jack a try, hopefully I can install everything myself now.
