Was wondering if this was possible. I have the old truck with no title and runs and the 87 need a trans and case. If any one could tell me what trans and case it might be and what it would take to work it would be greatly appreciated. Both are half ton btw. thank you
I'm not sure if you are saying that the 87 is completely missing the trans/transfer case or if it is in need of repair. The next question, are they both automatic? If so the older truck will have a turbo 350 with a 208 transfercase. The 87 would probably be a 700r4 with a 208 transfercase. The 700r4 will be longer then the turbo 350 by about three inches so the drivelines will need to be changed out, cross member will need to be moved, and the transmission fluid lines shortened. Off hand, this is the easy stuff I can think of, but there will be other little things. Also you will lose fourth gear. My recommendation is get the original one fixed if you are planning to do any type of highway driving or if you are going to keep the truck.
I Know It Came With The 700r4 But Some One Has Changed It Already. The Truck Currently Has A 350 To 208 CASE. Blew The Trans. The Third Time The Transmission Has Been Rebuilt Telling Me Something Is Wrong With The Trans. Was Driving Hard But Not That Hard. I Had It Rebuilt And It Lasted About 600 Miles.
