Title: 83 GMC 2x4 body on to a 79 CHEVY 4x4 chassis
Post by: moats310 on August 25, 2013, 02:54:13 pm
Im Taking My 83 Gmc Seirra 2X4  And Putting The Body And Engine On An 79 Chevy 4X4 Chassis. Im Going To Swap My 4Spd W/ Od For A Straight 4Spd With An Np205 Transfer Case Out Of A 75. Im Just Curious If Im Going To Have Any Issues. I Know My 2X4 Tranny Won't Work, Hense Me Getting The Other on One...

The only issue standing out right now is you need to either use a small body lift or cut some of the floor hump to clear the transfer case.  Your old OD transmission is worth quite a bit and the shifter is worth even more if it is in good shape.  Those parts are next to impossible to find and demand big $ if complete.

Your trans will work but you would have to get a divorced transfer case and new/modded  shafts Idk prob $600-800 for all that

The Chassis Has A Six Inch Suspension Lift, But I Intend On Adding Another 2 Inch For A Body Lift.  Im Selling My OD Trans, I Wouldn't Even Know Where To Start For A Price.  I Wanna Post Pics As I Go But When I Try It Says That They Are Too Big.

Your body lift won't effect your drive shafts. But that don't matter anyway. Your running the same trans/transfer case I run on my mudder nice set up and you can abuse it pretty good. I have no ideal about that transmission never had one or seen one. But asking for a price on a part is considered "selling " it on here. If you want to know I would say search eBay or Google it and see what others are going for.
