Re: 1979 c30 454

Awesome find! I love it when people pick up one of these old trucks and use them. You'll need to modify your sig again. It sounds like you got the shifter straightened out, but if not, I know the guys at Novak Adapters are kind of guru's when it comes to the 465's. I can tell you that when I drained the fluid in mine and put Mobil 1 in it, the shifting became much easier. Your steering issue could also be a poor alignment? I believe toe-out will cause what you're talking about. I doubt it is the only problem though, as bad as it sounds. I know the 1-ton's have thicker frames than the 1/2 and 3/4, but not sure about the dimensions. I'm sure you could build a bracket to make it work. It does look a little funny with the wrong bumper on it...
