Anyone know of a decent junk yard anywhere in north Georgia? I am looking for a front end, rear end and transfer case out of an old K20/30, but I am striking out everywhere.
I used to go parts hunting with a friend when he was into 4x4 stuff and I don't remember having any trouble finding a NP203 or 205 laying around where ever. Hell he had two Dana 70 front ends just sitting around in his garage. I would gladly settle for a 60 or a 14 bolt. |

Get all my 1ton stuff from pull-a-part.
www.pullapart.com Whatcha putting it in? |

You have had luck with pull-a-part??? I have been going over to the one in Norcross for years and never found anything good. Which is odd because I have been told that I have a nose for pulling salvage parts. They say the have a C/K-30 from the 70's but I imagine it is a C-30.
If all goes according to plan, it will be going into a '85 K-5. Not sure yet though. |
| I want to stick with chevy/gm, so I can more or less bolt right in without many issues. I wasn't aware that any vans had the full float 14 bolt. I'll have to look at them more carefully. I have seen them with the semi float, but I am not interested in that. I just have to find a 14 bolt out of a chevy with an open differential and a 10.5" ring gear and I will be good to go. |

So I was looking at pull a part's site to see what the locations had and I noticed that it said no jacks. If I want a rear end, how am I supposed to get to it without a jack? They weld the frames to two wheels that make permanent jack stands. They don't sit on their own axles. Easiest way is to cut ( if you can smuggle it in) the U bolts. Or unbolt them and some times the eye bolts are easier to break loose. Take PB blaster and a 4 foot handle extension with you for leverage. |

The '97s or '98s have disc brakes. If I can find a decent rear end with decent rotors and calipers, it would be cheaper than replacing the drums on mine. Plus i might be ablr to sell my rear end.
As for dragging a 500lb 14 bolt out from under the truck, I hope they are happy to help with the fork truck. |

If disc's are what you seek , my stuff won't work. Blazer rear different from the pickup as far as discs? I guess you know to check the glove box sticker to verify the same gear ratio. Some times. I want to say that after '97 it was an option to get disc brakes on a truck and standard on a blazer. |
