Stumbled on your video. Did the conversion on my 78 k15 about 40 years ago. First attempt was with a B&M kit. That was a waste of time and $$. couldn't get it to shift properly. Ended up with a Doug Nash DNE2 shaft and warn hubs. Still works fine. Just need to put it into 4wd every now and then.

Thanks Ian your video helped me to remove the glove box lock on my 1976 Holden Kingswood HX V8. I was fiddling with it for a

Switch to a 12V cranking system is probably one of the easiest mods to a CUCV. A little different on the variants with the 100A 24V systems as they are equipped with DUVAC units.

You can very easily delete/modify the glow plug system with a simple conversion to the 1987 glow plug controller system. It's a lot more reliable than the 1984 system.

Great video. Who made that welded armor thing over the cover? Never seen one before. Worth having?

Hey what locker are you running?

Can you please show how the spring goes on the latch

I have the exact same color and look of that 87

Great job Ian. Thank you so much.

I cannot find Mile Marker kit with shaft called said they do not make it anymore. Want to get a PT kit with shaft. Where did you get yours and who manufacture it? Thanks for your time

Ian, I just got an 86 Cucv. I had a guy look at it and he tried to convert it to 12 V system. When I try to start it, it sounds like it has a weak battery. Could this be because he should have changed the starter to 12B?

He certainly works very quietly!

Thanks lan

My backfire/pop only happens when I revv on 4/5 rpm but sometime when I drive it will happen but I like to have it daily basis everytime I downshift on 2 or 1 gear how can I fixed the issue

What are the benefits of part time over full time?

Absolute fucking genius!!! Thank you for the video

Hey if you ever check YT anymore.. Send a Text I deleted every contact in my old phone and have no backups. June 2023.. LOL

What chassis was this wagon on ? Stock ?

Dang DAddy let her warm up!

usefull axles

They went to gm 10 bolt in 81, they used the d44 until 80

Cool!

How has it held up?

Dana 60 Chevy front only has 3 unbolts! King pin and a straight steering arm. 10 bolt and Dana 44 can swap everything except the pumpkin and contents and inner axle shafts are different, 3/4 ton difference is hubs rotors backing plates and calipers .because of 3/4 using 8 lugs ,gm done that to match the Dana 60 ff rears and the 14 bolt ff rears

Cool man, thanks for the concise vidya!!

Any idea what light warns of temp, where is it?

Have exact same problem with my 84 300CD. Thanks for the tips

Ah when an 84 Chevy was just an old truck

I need this info. Thanks!

A real video with a real reaction. That flame 🔥 would have scared the shit out of me. Wouldn't have driven it until it was fixed lol

The only problem with the kit is that your chain doesn't lubricate the transfer case anymore unless it's I 4 wheel drive or you lock the front hubs in.

Ian, Thanks for the great info! I am going to do this in a 1978 4x4 Cheyanne. My question is: did the shifter end up in the right spot in the truck after the swap? I am afraid it might move back to for and mods to the shifter may be necessary. I am very familiar with the 203 setup, just not so much the 205. Of one does the swap, does the shifter still sit in the same spot? I would appreciate your knowledge on this since you have actually done this swap. Thanks!! Mike

Thanks for the video. My 84 has the latch broken off. The latch and spring are missing so I can't get it to a place where the little tabs/tangs show in the windows for me to depress. Any ideas? Thanks!

Cars backfiring seem to always do a big rattle first. I had to reassure kids during recess duty once that it was a car and not gunfire. :/

How did you do the pedal assembly?

good video! thanks for sharing

Can you tell me where I can sale square body parts and trucks

Are the kits still available?

Thanks for posting.

Engaging rod hole for manual clutch where would it be must I cut it .and how would I locate it.

Did you use your np203 driveshaft yoke for the 205 or were they different?

00:56 when you open up the door it sounded like it almost died must have just been the camera

When you run in normal low or high after the kit is installed is your front running gear (drive shaft/axles) totally disengaged with the hubs unlocked?

Thank you for the video. My my son broke the latch and your video helped me realize that one of the two locking bits is now missing (the brass one is there but the silver one is gone). Time to order a new lock

God Bless you!!! I just removed an original steering arm off my 1971 K20 in literally 3 minutes after watching this! Otherwise I would be at it in the morning after an all nighter!!! Thanks so much!!!

I see nothing!!!!!

Still have that. Cold start videos are for weirdo's now

How did you get the r4 ac compressor brackets to work?

Cringed at the mention of electric. Good ol' reliable mechanical. Just left a comment on another video of yours, about this kind of unit. Nice find.

Need a good camera operator. It's so hard to find competent help, these days.
