Cause you'd have to be drunk to buy this thing! - Krebs

Traded a smoky ass 4-wheeler for it.

Little rougher than the guy let on, more rust. All of the rust is in the normal places for these trucks, specifically the bottom of all the fenders. LMC offers replacement panels for each place though. Luckily windshield frame is ok. Someone did a shatty job on the rockers so the doors dont open so easy right now.

Specs:

350 with non-working tpi
turbo 350
half-ass twin-sticked 205
welded 14 bolt
8 lug d44 with fancy steering

Plans for now include cleaning the awesome lubbock dust off everything, controlling the rust on the rest of the truck. It will probably sit until i finish school.

Me and mike's auto teacher hated them cause he had a friend's light on fire while he was driving it. Maybe this is the consequences of a wind hole?!?

Post up what you are looking for body wise and what would interchange.
Is the tailgate and doors the same as a truck..or could they be made to work?
I see parts for these trucks all the time (PU's) b/c of how popular they have come in the last few years.

Not sure what interchanges, i'll have to do some research. I could use a fender and a driver door, i can make do with both i think, but wouldnt hurt to have them.

The eb homos seem to like them....

I am pretty sure everyone has copied everyone else so it really does not matter which ones you get. From what I have read they all bind up and will piss you off at somepoint.

I will leave my eb stock I dont see the need for a light duty trail rig to be twin sticked.

I have a 205 with the single shifter crap minus the stick. I'm sure you could find the stick for free from all these people doing twin sticks. It's not hard to reverse the process.

From what I remember it looked like he welded crap onto the shift rails. You might want to make sure he didn't botch the shift rails so much that you can't put that kit on. I'm going completely from a 5 second look under the truck, so you maybe ok.

i think you're right, there are some taps welded on there, what a canadian, same with those brackets for the shackle flip, $300 and not be a canadian.

So you have the shift rails, i'll buy them off of you. I thought about just trying to trade transfer cases, but the folder full of receipts has a receipt for a transfer case rebuild kit, so its been redone recently.

There was a cat living in my storage shed in lufkin. So it might have some cat pee on it.

A few things to think about before going to a carb.

Fuel pump? A FI pump will be way to much for a carb
Tranny kick down
throttle linkages
distrubutor? FI distrubutor will probably not work
Coil?
Etc

It might be easier to fix the FI......

its temporary to get it running/inspected .

The guy never got the TPI to "work" it fired once and never worked again, I have no idea what the guy did, what any of the wires are, and since i dont even know what im looking at that makes it even more fun. I could throw alot of money at it and still not have it work, or spend $200 on a carb and have it run in a weekend.

I was actually searching the other day cause i thought flem recommended a book on it, when i found ididoth's shat.

My theory is this, when I get out of school, i plan to drop some coin and set it up exactly like i want, i will most likely ditch the motor that's in it now for a 5.3 or something of that sort. I just want to get it running now and be able to comprehend wtf is going on when it takes a shat. Not constantly jiggling wires and checking voltages on the way to work.

if you get it running on a carb, its gonna be hard to pull that apart and do the fuel injection in the future. i volunteer flem to come help you with it and get it going cheaper than you can do the carb swap.

ive never cared to learn the intricacies of tbi but i am under the impression that its not batch fire, more of a metered constant flow. am i right?

Yes TBI is just a steady flow of fuel. You can watch it if you take the air cleaner off.

mudtoy67
09-28-2007, 04:47 PM
Yes, you can watch it, and it looks steady. But if you listen, you can hear it's just fast pulses...it's not a smooth flow. This is why I thought it could be related to batch fire. :confused2

going to tailgate tonight? If so, we'll talk

i've got some of those tpi ecm's floating around if you suspect its the problem

747 uses peak and hold driver, it might not be able to supply enough current to keep 4 injectors open

I think that kit eric was looking at from edelbrock uses the later tbi computer to drive 4 injectors per driver, but there could be some fancy electronics between the computer and injector that they supply.

I will try and get the part number off it to see how much a rebuild kit is.

This is an excellent manifold, you might remember it was on Crouch Racing's 1967 Chevelle in the famous "Kingspoint Dead Man's Curve Race" that resulted in said chevelle wrapped around light pole. Thus of course resulted in Clyde's foot jammed in previously mentioned driver's rectum.

Oh she was more pissed about then I was. The guy next door runs a hotel/brothel for continental airlines out of his house and there are always at least 2 cars parked in the street at his house everynight at least one of which is parked the wrong way. Around the corner the guy is a towtruck driver/hotshotter and constantly has a 4-car trailer parked in the street, other people dont mow their lawns, etc. Not really equal protection under the law.

Free legal service is nice. Last time she got pissed at something in her neighborhood, Darling Homes sent her a check for $500 for "trespass to property" :gigem:

When I got my notice in Beaumont I called and b!tched the lady out. She made comments like "get the vehicle inspected" To which I replied lady I have a real job, I don't have time to go walking around looking at my neighbors cars and getting this inspected.

I further questioned her as to the definition of "motor vehicle" She replied something with an engine and 4 wheels, to which I replied my neighbor has a 4 wheeler, it is by your definition a "motor vehicle" and it is not inspected. She then said I was bending the law. I replied no you are making it up as you go.

Seriously in Beaumont they would not even let you have a car in the back of your yard if it was visible from anyone else including neighbors in a third story building. Meanwhile the bums and hookers would be hanging out at the Dunkin Donuts 150 yards from my house.

all the board has to do once you bring up the point that "immobile vehicle" is not defined is to make an amendment to define immobile vehicle to fit yours and possibly others. Like you said they probably have a loop hole. I know in most city street's you can't have a vehicle sit in one place longer than a few days...they may try to apply the same rule to your driveway.

Well the HOA sent a "scathing" letter, saying it has to move by the end of the month, no big deal as i was planning on moving it on Sat anyway.

I wish i had a scanner, because its the worst written letter I've ever seen. They spelled samantha's name wrong and it says "sent via certified mail" which it wasnt (the joos sent the same letter twice instead), and whoever wrote it refers to themself in the letter yet fails to ever mention their name or signed it.

The best part is they say "pursuant to Section 9: Blah Blah" and quote the exact lines from the deed restrictions I posted, which say nothing about "immobile vehicles", then it says "remove immobile vehicle". So much as I suspected the deed restrictions say nothing regarding it.

It gave the date of the next HOA meeting, if it were MY house i'd be over there raising hell, about a) how sh!tty whoever wrote the letter is and b) how they are making it up as they go.

Regardless El Borracho moves to storage on Sat. and I can park in the drive again.

I may still try to get it running over X-mas if me and Karl have "Workin' Man's a Sucker" Week or some other assorted free time.

So I've made some engine decisions. I'm quite positive i want to run fuel injection, but not the setup I have and not the motor i have. I want to ditch both as I dont know the history of either.

I want to drop in a motor that came with stock fuel injection and an overdrive tranny, but I'm unsure of what combinations will work with my tcase, without an adapter. I've heard you cant run a 205 behind a 5.3 with overdrive tranny without a custom output.

What about a vortec motor or TBI motor. If I went with the TBI motor I've read good things about Bowtie Overdrives 700R4s, but dont know anyone that has one.

I guess I need to find out what transfercases are interchangable with a 205...

Need to do some research i guess.

Blah...

If you don't plan on wheeling it hard, why not just swap in an entire later model drive train. Engine, tranny, and t-case. If something was electronic, i.e. the tranny, it would already have the vss or whatever on the t-case. Also the chain driven cases have a better ratio than the 205. Only catch is the drop of the t-case...

5.3 or 6.0 would be sweet

uglyota
10-30-2007, 04:37 PM
this being a toy and not a dd (ie reliability is not imperative), why do you want to pull the current stuff out, and why do you not want to run the TPI stuff you have? Wouldn't you rather have a driver in a long afternoon (or maybe weekend) than a project for the next 6 months-5 years? You'll also get a lot more selling a running motor and injection setup than a mystery motor. Or is there a reason that getting it running in its current state is no longer a possibility?

Fredo
10-30-2007, 04:52 PM
dude, it's a SBC and TPI...there are only two questions on this engine? Is it getting fuel? Is it getting spark? Once the answer is yes to these questions, it will be fine. If it has rod knock or burns oil once it's running, then you can worry about replacing it. It won't cost much more than time to try. Also, if power is a concern, it shouldn't be. A TPI smallblock will make an assload of torque. Plus, the tranny is already mated up to a transfercase and you already have driveshafts correct?

If you just don't feel like messing with the current TPI, this is what I would suggest. From what it sounded like when you got this thing, it would be more of a cruisin'/light wheeling truck, so the extra beef of a 205 wouldn't really be necessary.

found this doing research tonight:


You need a 27 spline NP205, coupler, and Factory adaptor from that was from a TH350. then you need either an aftermarket Tailshaft, or the easier route is to add a 1.5" spacer to the tailhousing between the adaptor, pretty simple fix. The 4L60E's tailhousing pattern is the same as the TH350, so the adaptor will bolt right up like it was meant to be there.

The 27 spline NP205's were found behind TH350's in 1969-1972, 1974, and 1980.

Let me know if you have problems finding the NP205 or any other parts. The factory adaptor might be tough, as they often cracked at the feet.

and this:



You need to do a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) Swap into the NP205 rear output to retain your speedo.

You can read about thsi in the product reviews sectyion @ www.coloradok5.com, its where the review the ORD doubler.

To put a NP205 behind a 4l60E, you need either an aftermakret tailshaft, or a driveline spacer. Search on CK5 with +700r and +205. The 700R is the same trans as a 4L60E.

Doug Krebs
10-30-2007, 10:08 PM
You can also cut down the tailshaft of a 700R4, etc... to fit a 205 on the rear.

Why not just swap over to a chain driven case? Find a NP241 that is a passenger side drop. They are a little harder to find, but not bad.

It's much easier shifting a chain driven case, they have lower gears, and they are shift on the fly. I think they are better suited for what your intentions are.

Quadrasteer is badass not only in tight parking lots. At speed the rear tires turn the same direction as the front wheels making lane changes more stable. It also makes backing a trailer easier.

Is it necessary? nope. Was it overpriced from the factory? Arguably, yes. Did they market it like **** by putting the lights and flares on there? Most certainly. You can't deny that making a truck that big have the turning radius of a civic is badass. My point being it is much more useful than the other crap you compared it to.

You can act like it isn't a pain in the ass to drive your big ass truck through parking lots, but I guarantee you and Samantha take her car for that very reason when going somewhere in the city where you're going to park in a garage.

Actually we take samantha's car because she bashes curbs with my truck all the time, sucks at backing it up, and she hasnt mastered the 6spd very well. And prior to the reason you put in black, im usually to drunk to drive home. :flipoff2: I made it through 2 years of living in the north with my truck, where the parking lots are made for compact cars only, sans quadrasteer.

The wheels turning at speed isnt new and innovative, the preludes did it in the 90's (consequently when samantha's mom looked at one and the salesman was really pushing the rearsteer, i said "cool, but seems like more crap to wear out)

According to wikipedia that sh!t was 5g's. If having a good turning radius is worth 5 g's, more power to you, to me it isnt. If you pulled trailers all day everyday, i can see it maybe being a viable option, but I'd rather just bring krebs along and have him back it up for me :gigem:

Actually we take samantha's car because she bashes curbs with my truck all the time, sucks at backing it up, and she hasnt mastered the 6spd very well. And prior to the reason you put in black, im usually to drunk to drive home. :flipoff2: I made it through 2 years of living in the north with my truck, where the parking lots are made for compact cars only, sans quadrasteer.

The wheels turning at speed isnt new and innovative, the preludes did it in the 90's (consequently when samantha's mom looked at one and the salesman was really pushing the rearsteer, i said "cool, but seems like more crap to wear out)

According to wikipedia that sh!t was 5g's. If having a good turning radius is worth 5 g's, more power to you, to me it isnt. If you pulled trailers all day everyday, i can see it maybe being a viable option, but I'd rather just bring krebs along and have him back it up for me :gigem:

really I just like fawking up your thread with this quadrasteer drivel. :gigem:

quadrasteer in the last year 2 yrs was a 2k option and it was bundled w/ autoride and some other stuff. I think I can handle driving a suburban in traffic seeing how I use to drive a tractor trailer w/ a 8 bin grain hauler in Houston and others places tighter than that on people's ranches. I like it for what Jimmy said about w/ a trailer. Also, my driveway is really tight, so 4 wheel steer makes it where I don't have to back up turning in when I come from another direction. Plus, when I'm Downtown going up and down alleys checking out lots, etc. I don't have to back up....just turn and I can bust a U-turn in a normal residential street. When I'm in parking lots I don't have to file a flight plan for a space before I make a move on it. It's a lot of stuff to wear out...the same **** you have in the front of a 4wd truck....I just pretend I own two trucks! Makes me feel better!:flipoff2:
Also turns out when you buy a used one they sell for the same amount as the a 2 wheel steer truck and suburban's don't have the gay fenders (I agree on the PU's fenders) just oversized flares.



EDIT: PS the black grill looks gay! In fact the whole paint scheme black wheel arches, rockers, w/ the red etc looks gay! I thought you were going for the mall crawler look? It looks fairly redneck.

i wouldn't do above the wheels, just the bottom of the rockers like it is now. I plan on keeping the reddish orange it is now, with gunmetal on the bottom rockers. I think i want to run h2's powdercoated to match. That guy hacked the shat out of his fenders too, which i dont plan to do.

jerry the h2 wheels look kick ass but the problem is that they have ****ty backspacing and will look kinda goofy on a fullsize with regular axles in my opinion. You will prolly then also have tire rubbing problems in the front. P.S h2 go for 150-200 regularly on 4x4 sites, and the list

See, to me double-flipoff means "i got you good fawker". But when you repeat something someone else said and follow it by double-flipoff, you become on par with mike knoeller. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

worse, pretty much everything you can buy a replacement panel for, i need. Somebody replaced the rockers already once, but i think they did it with their eyes closed.

The only good thing is the windshield frame isnt rusted out, that is where they usually get it bad.

I basically plan to take it to a bodyshop and bend over...I've seen ones worse than mine brought back to life.

edit: i wouldn't give the guy $3000 for sure on that one.

The basic idea is the same as the 203/205. Except instead of an adapter, it's just a plate and you reuse the case. There is also a little spud shaft. I'll go find the thread.

dont worry, ive got an intake and a 4 barrel that mike gave me:gigem:

jerryg79
03-07-2008, 10:07 PM
Here is the plan as i see it.

Make the b!tch run....fred cover your ears. Most likely this will involve carbing it. I got a free intake and 4 barrel from mike. Im going to rebuild the carb and clean up the intake. I cant work on it wear its stored, and I cant keep it in the driveway. If i carb it and make it run i can drive it to and from the storage place.

I can work on it my driveway without repercussion for a weekend. So when I want to work on it, i'll just drive it back over here.

As far as I know, everything but the motor is in working condition. Steering is all hooked up, and i think the brakes are good.

Here is what it needs to run:
carb rebuilt
intake cleaned up
new distributor
plugs/wires
i'll have to check on the fuel pump and stuff once i pull it out.

I'll have to get with karlisa and find a time in a couple of months when we can do it at don johnsons', i know he has alot of other projects though too.

We'll see how it goes.

Other plans:
either 205/203 doubler or 241/205 doubler
run the 44 for a while till i can afford a 60
cage
bumpers
new seats
fix heater
