thanks i got alot of pics but i used a old camera with the old 3.5 floppy disc and i cant get them to open for some reason.i got a few pics all mixed up i was gona do a build thread but i just got busy building it and it would be finished by now but i had a hard time geting up the money and the body work took forever my buddy started the body work but had family problems and i had to take it to a body shop that i didnt know because i couldnt get alot of them to even look at it most body shops dont even want to fool with these old trucks.here is a pic of the truck when i first got it . i had it shipped from ca to ga. it was in good shape to start with it had a good running 400 smallblock and turbo 400. then i found a rolled over 06 gmc 2500hd with the 6.0 and 4l80e with only 38k miles on it . thats where all this ideal of redoing this old 77 started.

That thing is gorgeous! Excellent job and build. So glad you left it a factory color scheme.

walkerb · 04-07-2014, 11:02 AM

Very nice rig

NastyBuzzard · 05-20-2014, 04:52 PM

What swap mounts did you use? Also what headers?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 05-22-2014, 10:42 PM

That looks awesome Johnny! I love it. Only thing I would have kept the yellow '77 trim stripe. My first truck was a '77 so I'm kind of fond of the yellow stripe! Good work! How's the old black truck doing?

19GMC66 · 05-22-2014, 10:54 PM

Sweet!

MTCK · 05-25-2014, 06:05 PM

Sweet truck. I am digging the original look. Any details on the build?

thanks for the complement I was gona go with the yellow stripe but I had everybody say go with the black the yellow on the truck is real bright so I went with the black . I can always paint it yellow later . it has a 79 front grille and bezels I am fond of them over the 77 bezels . the old black truck is still kicking I just cant get rid of it. I built this truck cause I drove a 04 crewcab 2500hd for a while when I was working and I loved it but I thought I would build this truck and build it up with everything modern . I bought a 2006 gmc rollover with 37k miles with a 6.0 and 4l80e and put it in this 77 with a 205 tcase I got it fixed up like this and love it all I like is getting the dash gauges replaced with some new ones but this nos stuff is got high and it takes time to find a deal

was the 80e/205 adapter an oem piece or what did you use. I'm going the 6.0/80e/205 route also.

I used a oem turbo 400 203 adapter it has to be milled a little in the front of the adapter for the 205 case to bolt up .also if you use a 4l80e transmission out of a 2 wheel drive the rear output shaft has to be cut off about 2 inches so the 205 case will bolt up

What had to be milled exactly on the 400/203 spacer? Also what did you use for a computer to control the transmission? What harness shop did you use?

hi its the front where the tcase hooks to the trans. where the six bolts are .it has to be milled go to pirate 4x4 and there is all the info there. the transmission is shifting fine I used the wireing harness and computer out of the 06 gmc that I bought and got the engine and transmission from I bought a 2006 2500hd gmc that was rolled over and got everything out of it.http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/chevy...400-np205.html they make this adapter too
