62 K10==many parts swap questions
 

I'm going to pick up a late 70's drivetrain this weekend. Matched front and rear axle, t350 auto trans and married t-case. All steering stuff except column, but includes pump and hoses etc., steering componenets still attached. Crossmemebers, etc, all included.
from a late 70's Blazer. Has the auto-locking hubs, though. Questions are...

Is this likely to be a 203,205, or 208 transfer case?
Will a turbo 350 trans mount to a 62 235 6cyl?
How hard to retro fit a power steering box and pump to a 62 with a 235?
Who had the power brake/clutch seperator stuff for sale on here? Capt. someone, I think. The new front is disc.
What else am I missing or not thinking about? U-bolts different? Spring perches? Shocks? Who's done this?

Thanks.

I've swapped the axle on mine to early 72-73 ish axles. I had new u bolts made which was pretty cheap and they made them in 20 minutes while I waited. The spring perches were the same but I did have to cut the shock mounts off of my stock axles and weld them onto the rear D60 and they work just fine.
I would guess that you might be able to find PS brackets possibly off of a later GM I6 that would work. They seem pretty interchangeable (the serpentine drive that I've got on the '69 396 is from a '97 454).
Not sure about the clutch separator, but I would try to grab the booster, brake pedal arm, pivot and pushrod and see if that could be made to work.
All of it took a little bit of fabrication but nothing serious... I'm not exactly a rocket scientist.

I just found this in the 60-66 section. May be helpful? Hope I linked it right.

Ha! Me either. I'm, as my signature implies, a trapper. Love these old trucks, though. Thanks for the link. If I do the trans. swap, won't need the seperate clutch and brake stuff, but will need the brake booster stuff. not sure which way I'll end up going, but thinking the 350 auto and married t-case might be shoe-horned in.
Anyone know if the 235 I6 will push the 350 auto with enough power to get out of it's own way? Or if it will even bolt up or adapt so that a dumb old country boy can do it?
Thanks
