dont forget...
Dont forget you'll need a pilot bushing or bearing(your choice)..I had everything apart on my 72 K5 on a weekend,putting a SM 465 in place of a TH350,had the flywheel,bellhousing,tranny,transfer case,new clutch,pedals,etc--sunday morning I realized I forgot a pilot bushing!
--and I had to be to work at 10 am monday,70 miles away!..
.. (did the work at my parents house--I lived in an apartment,no truck fixing allowed!)..
I Got lucky and found a parts store 25 miles away that was open til noon on sunday morning,and they actually had one in stock!--cost me 12 bucks though--I worked at a parts store,would have been three dollars and change if I'd remembered to get it at work..
Didn't matter anyway..I ended up using my dads car to go to work..I put the pedal cluster in,and discovered my power brake booster was junk,full of brake fluid,and the clip on the throwout bearing fork was rusted and it broke.(dealer only item too--cost 3 bucks!)--Had to wait until the next weekend to finish it after I found a booster in the junkyard--only had to scour 5 of them to get one,and this was in 1985!..bet they are REAL rare now...
Good luck on your swap!..I loved the granny low 1st gear,but the splines on the output shaft on the tranny were worn pretty bad--it would rattle and drove me nuts--even a new coupler sleeve and J-B weld didn't quiet it for very long (10 spline tranny shaft)..now I know why they went to a shaft with more splines in later years..(32 I think??)..
...
But no more being late for work,waiting for the TH350 to decide if it was going to go in "drive" first thing in the morning anymore..it took 5 minites some days before it would move in forward gears--then it was perfect all day..next day,same thing!..almost got fired thanks to that tranny!..never did figure out what its problem was..I wished I'd put lower gears in it at the same time..3.08's sucked with a 4 speed for power,but it got decent highway gas mileage....
