Re: 85 GMC Sierra Classic 1 Ton Crew Cab

JLT, that could work, but as I have stated before if I go to high my carrier bearing on the drive shaft will not mount into the stock location. If i where to use the spacers that would wind up making it to high.

The way you have showed the spacers are not where the bolts go into, I understand what you are trying to show me. The spacers are not very long and they need to reach pretty far up. So I think if you used spacers you would have to make new ones.

The blue line shows where the holes are, the red block shows how tall the spacers would need to be.

I hope you can understand what I am saying. I am getting some spacers, but I plan on removing my drive train tomorrow so I can finish up a few things before I paint the frame, so I wont be able to get pictures of how I am going to mount it.

NV4500/205 sounds like a good tranny/transfercase. I am just putting the truck together for now and then rebuilding it later when I can find a new cab. I might try to find a different transmission and run a 205, but for now i am going with the th400/208.
