I'm looking at a 292/4 SPD combo. What are the chances it's a granny vs. a traditional 4 SPD? Thanks,

jay

In terms of trucks (the 292 was never available in cars), 'traditional' would be a granny transmission. If the 4 speed is original, it is either an SM420 (7.06 or so first gear) or the later SM465 (6.55 first gear). The 292 never came with a close-ratio (non-granny) 4 speed.

4 speed close ratio was a very popular conversion in the 1980s in GM vans and pickup trucks, for example, many people took out the colume shift manual and put in a 4 speed on the floor.

Maybe somebody changed yours over in this way,? then you would have the overdrive 4 speed.

The ad indicates it came from a 73 . I guess that means SM465, if it's original?

Actually it would be a CH-465, no the older SM prefix.
