If you are planning on doing a lot of towing or hauling look for an NV4500. Lots of info on both swaps. Contact Advance Adapters and do a web search on T-5 and NV4500 transmissions. | | |

The most common one used in these old trucks come in mid80,s S-10 pickups. There is lots of info on this websight about the conversion. Ive done 2 of them & they work great.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
