Got it home
Been busy madi went to college and dealing with two kids in college but went north this weekend guiding my best friends daughter at her first deer hunting experience and we saw a lot of deer but nothing legal for her first attempt at killing something with a rifle. While I was up there I picked up that k30 that I posted earlier so spent most of Sunday getting it on trailer and home. Don't know what I've started but will be a learning experience no matter what. Good rear and I'm not sure what else but will try to post pictures to see what everyone thinks of what I got. Good brand new windshield and a extra set of doors also. $400 so I didn't think I could go wrong. Pics coming.

Doesn't look like a k30, as the front axle has u bolts. As far as I know 60s have studs on one side of the pass side leaf perch.
But for $400, THATS A SCORE!!!

Yea not a k30 but like dueling also said, for $400, you can not go wrong! ITs 3/4 ton running gear attached to a truck.

Might have started life as a k30, but someone robbed the front end out of it.
It has a 208 shifter in it too. That started in the 80's I thought. Did most 1tons have 205 in them.
All K30's have NP205 (except for 1977-1979 models with an automatic, they had NP203's, and CUCV's)
That's a Dana 44 front, not a Dana 60, but it does have the correct rear u-bolts for a K30 though.

Those wheels are off a 1988-1998 as well. I am guessing it is just a cobbled together bit of left over parts, and the Dana 60 is under something else now.

Kind of what I surmised after talking to everyone before hand. New windshield out of second 2 wheel truck also got thrown into deal. He also had a perfect front clip off that second truck that I left, hood and all-not a ding. Good deal for some parts for me down the road, don't know if front will ever get used but I still have yet to break an axle so might start with that Dana 44 and see how long it lasts when I swap axles. Still would like to start with cage and safety stuff, harness,seats etc.. as madi once got really close to rolling a 2001 dodge of her brothers. Lesson learned for both her and me. Safety first!!took me two days and multiple rigs to get that dodge out, had to have multiple lines attached and jack and block to get back to where it didn't want to roll then block and jack back sideways to where I could finally just winch it out. close call to messing up a nice truck and who knows for the girls that were in cab.
Transfer case
So that transfer case is the one I can couple to my existing for a doubler set up? Leaning to keeping 350 trans and doubler and hopefully these axles will have 410 at least for gears. Will be cheapest way to start getting rig up to par for first effort and starting point to keep it running along way also.

No power- tranny problems
Daughter home For thanksgiving and something causing rough running motor and no power. Looked over things pretty good and can't figure out what is causing problems. Wheeled it pretty good a couple of weeks ago and now only getting about 50 percent power to wheels. Must be tranny or binding with drive lines? If lifted too much where do you measure piñon angles to make sure not excessive with drive shafts?

I would think if your drivelines were binding that bad you would have broken something. If your joints are binding you should see marks inside the yokes. You could put the truck up on jack stands and and spin the shafts in neutral to see if they bind.

Most certainly not your drive lines binding. Stuff would break before it would bind enough to cause a power loss. Do you know the history of the timing chain? Possible that it jumped time.
I rebuilt engine about 5 yrs ago and it only has about 10k on it. After playing with it all week it has just a terrible miss and I can't find it. Last one was just a wire on a header, easy fix but not this time. Took to a buddy's shop today so we will see, I don't think it is major and occasionally I like him to look at it anyway so we will see tomorrow. Cold enough to freeze brass monkey here today and with no garage it goes to him. Hunting season anyway, better things to do in snow like killing things.
