I have a 67 chevy 3/4 ton pick up truck. It has a 283 V-8, sm420 tranny. I want to get a little more top end out by swapping in an overdrive tranny. My question is 'are there any transmissions that will bolt right in or close to?'

They are cheap & plentiful & only require minor modifications. (see tech tips). They are not real stout though. If you are going to do some heavy hauling, pulling, burn outs , drag raceing, or speed shifting it would not be the trans. of choice. There are some stouter trans. in the full size trucks but they are more costly. There are some after market o-drives but they are very expensive. Also the optional o-drives from 55 to somewhere in the 60's in cars & trucks work good too, but are hard to find anymore.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
