Unless that place changed hands, they want more for their individual parts than the wjole damn car/truck is worth...

Oh I'm not buying anything. I'm just going to be nosy.
I'll have to have @mrk5 reacquaint me with the NoCo yards
 
Nice! What bell housing are you gonna use with that?
After doing some recon last night I guess I am going to mod the 465 bell for it, for the sake of quickness I may just leave it mechanical clutch for now and collect the rest of the little parts for the hydro conversion..

If your system is working, why bother converting to hydro?
 
Yes sir that's my thought process, new fork and bushings already so it is pretty much new now.
 
Hydraulic is MUCH better IMO. Worth finding the parts.

I agree for a DD situation, definitely. I have one of each right now, and I love the feel of my hydraulic pedal. My Blazer just doesn't see enough highway time to justify converting, since I spend a good majority of my time in first plodding around anyways.

But I can also see his sentiment, he wants to keep driving it, and the mechanical is currently working. Gives him time to gather pieces whole he hunts down the last bits and pieces he'd need.
 
I understand completely. I know when I had my mechanical in my K10 and it would flex out really far it wouldn't work correctly. Just better for offroad I think. But yeah just gather parts when you can.
