Sold Parting out 1982 GMC crew cab

[red EOD]

Would like to sell this in as few chunks as possible, or will consider selling complete minus the wrecker mast/components for $4000. Will start the teardown June 22nd if it doesn't sell complete. Currently runs/drives, but not road ready. Would consider a trade for a tractor with front loader/backhoe.

Located in Brownwood Texas, 76801. I regularly travel to Dallas Texas.

K30 crew cab
Isuzu 4bd1t engine (similar to Cummins 4bt) with adapter plate

np205 tcase
D60 front D70hd rear with 4.10 gears

Suspension:
Front has 56" springs from the rear of a 3/4 ton truck with a heavier weight rating, 7" shackles.
Rear is 64" springs from a 2000's era 1 ton cab/chassis with shackle flip.
Soft, very flexible suspension.
DIY4X B52 kit up front, rear shackle flip/shackles are ORD 6" rear shackles (not in the pics yet).

Stock steering design with the 2" lift arm.

Nearly new painless wiring harness.

Have 4 spare 16" steel wheels and their rings.

I'm looking for a rear spring hanger front bracket. Would you be willing to pull one?

Yea it shouldn't be too difficult since I moved them before, just bolted now.

Question for you?
How did the well did the stock steering work with the 56s ?

Didn't drive much with the new suspension. But the new steering arm was necessary and getting the axle sitting in the correct location helped alot with getting full turning capability side to side.

Right on!
I wasn’t looking to spend a pile of money on mine and i’m not worried about huge articulation. I was thinking 4” arm and 52s.

I used the 2" arm from ORD, lined up great. Willing to sell it as well if interested

I’m in Canada so shipping kills. But thank you for the info! Gives me something to think about.

Is the th400 still available? Is it a hd case ?

Its available. No issues driving empty or towing, fluid always looked good. Shifted firm but the gear shifter was sloppy (pretty sure linkage problem but never looked into it).

Where would the HD be marked?

 

[sweetk30]

std th400 case .

has 4 screw holes for the tin dust cover for torque convertor .

the hd stuff has 6 for bolts and aluminum beefy cover and the cover had 2 boss's to take the brace rods to the engine mounts .

Thanks for the quick reply. Like stated above plus should have an hd cast on the bell housing and a thicker flange at the tcase mount surface.

It is possible for an HD style case to both not be drilled for the 3/8" bolts for the thick converter cover and not have "HD" cast on the bellhousing. Those cases were also used in mid 80's and later 2wd's so they would only be drilled for the tin covers but the bosses for the larger bolts are there. I have also seen HD cases with "37" cast on them instead of "HD".

That said, the 2nd pic in post #11 might show a boss mid way down the flange. It would need to be cleaned more to know for sure.

Going off the rear flange I'll say standard housing.
