There were various transmissions offered in light duty trucks. 3 sp, 3 sp with overdrive, HD 3 sp, 4 sp, and hydramatic. Like anything else you could find a wide range of prices. Fred

Just for a guidline, though, the average in my area (I'm including Indianapolis, as that's were most of the swaps i go to are) is around $100-$150 for a 3 speed overdrive, standard 3 speed is a little less. $ speeds can vary, depending on if the seller know what he has. The SM420 is a high demand off-road trans because of the deep first gear, lowest of any light truck trans. They can go from practically free to very high $$$. Can't really say about the HD 3 speed or Hydro-Matic, as I haven't come across any at the swaps or salvage yards.
