Thanks for the link, any help is greatly appreciated especially for improving my welds.




Drove two and a half hours out to Newport, North Carolina to pick this bad boy up... It's an NP241C out of a 1989 K5 Blazer. The T-case had been sitting out of the truck and in the rain for a while so I will be going through this case. I will need to re-spline the input shaft for the 4l80e and install the slip yoke eliminator.


Also I won't have to go through the trouble of building the wiring harness/fabbing up an electronic speedometer. Has the hook up for cable driven speedo. Will be looking for a tach cluster as the build gets a little bit further ahead.
