cleaned up miss piggy
today was the first free saturday i've had in a while so i spent an hour or so this morning, shampooing the carpet and washing the jams and exterior. She's not perfect, but she is my daily driver and i wouldn't trade her for anything (especially with the 5 speed in her now)

Dude..... You did ALL that in a hour or so ?!?!? It takes me over a hour just to wash-n-dry the exterior.....  What did you use on your carpet ? I've bought several brand carpet cleaners only to find they weren't worth crap. Sharp rig and GOOD Job !

For the carpets i start with grease lightening. i spray that on, rub it in with a wet brush, then i just use the turtle wax carpet cleaner. i foam that on, brush it in. then in the time it takes me to wash the outside, it dries, and i can open the doors up again and vacuum the residue off the carpets and wipe down the jams.

Re: cleaned up miss piggy
love the truck! I had 255/85s on my old dually, was supposed to swap them onto my 82 when I sold it, but the guy begged me for them, actually gave me another $800 for it. Then he decides he doesn't want the truck and sells it. Wish I'd kept it.
Anyway. Tell me more about this tranny. I have a th400 with a 205, what would I need to do this swap?

Re: cleaned up miss piggy
Well I dont know what style it is, but it's the original (to my knowledge) 400/205 from 1982. I did have the transfer case off a few months ago to replace the seal, but I can't say now if it's 6 bolt or not.
What are they talking about on AA website, "must be 10 spline male input and must be from a sm465"? Do you have to switch from a 205 from a 400 to a 205 from a 465? I need to keep my 205 case, it came with auto locking hubs, a rare option for 82, and I definitely want to keep it. I thought the AA package was a little pricy, I could buy a stand alone computer for the same money and run a 4l80e. Need to do something, I hate the 400. Lousy first gear, no topend and no OD. I think the 4500 would be a really nice swap and more fun to drive. I don't plan on doing much plowing with this truck, so I don't care about having to clutch. The sound of a big block downshifting with glasspacks would make up for a lot.

This may be a better question for Larry or someone else with more knowledge, but i assumed all np205s that were 10 spline were all the same (input shaft wise) The diffrence was all made up with the transmission adapter. I would assume this kit would work for your set-up.
