Nice. What years do I need to be looking for to find a hydraulic assembly? Or are the linkage/hydraulic pedals the same?

No, you want the hydraulic pedals preferably. 1985-1987(1991).

Awesome, thats what I thought. Thanks
They can come from a C10/C20/C30.

So I need to be looking for 2wd only?
No, I am saying if you are just getting the pedals, you don't need to specifically search out a 4x4.

I understand, that should broaden my search. Still going to be next to impossible to find in these parts..
There was a total of three squarebody trucks last junkyard trip I took, all auto 2wd.
Do you know if I'll need the high hump trans tunnel with a nv3500? I know its a certainty for the nv4500.

You already have the correct tunnel. All 4x4 tunnels are the same.

I'm liking this build more and more 
Between going back to the smaller wheels, and adding a man's transmission, I concur.

Dude I'm so ready to have a reliable transmission, my 4l60e friggin rocked at first, but I just don't think its gonna be up to snuff.I'm liking this build more and more
I don't want to throw $2k at a rebuild that "should" hold up and have to replace it in 8 months.
Lol this is hilarious. yes, you were right from the beginning about the wheels. Now I just gotta sell the Mfin 20s and get half my money back...
You going back to the 18"s?
Yes i am once I get the 20s sold.
I need some guidance doods
I am afraid an nv3500 is not going to hold up behind the 5.3 and 35" tires. Should I still be considering a 99+ LS based nv3500?
I am also concerned that if I find a deal on a nv4500 I will not be happy with the gear split. (From what I've read).
The blazer spends 95% of the time on the pavement so I think the nv3500 will be more pleasurable to drive, just concerned it won't take much abuse.
What do y'all think?

I had one of the earliest and weakest versions of that tranny in an 88 GMC C1500 short fleet with the TBI 350. Being younger, I beat the ever loving crap out of that truck for the 6 years I owned it. Went through a few sets of rear tires...
The only issue it had was a hardened roll pin breaking in the shift tower area.
After 11 years of improving it, I'd guess the 99+ version is more than burly enough to live behind a 5.3 in a Blazer.

Great, this is what I was hoping. Thanks for the input!
I think I can land one for ~$600, i have no clue how I'm gonna find pedals though...
Start with a parts wanted ad here. Always guys parting trucks and I've seen the hydro pedals come up more than a few times...
Almost forgot, Russel ran an NV3500 in his old K5 wheeling rig behind a turbo'd 6.2, and on 37's. I don't think he ever killed the tranny.
