My 72 has been converted to a 1 ton dually for towing/toy not a DD, I have a nv4500 in the mint or can go the route of a 4L80e. Truck has a th400 in it currently so I am looking for input on best transmission for tow/toy between the 2.
I don't think I will leave stock however 500ish+ torque is good enough for me off idle. I have read Dirtylarrys post and he seems to be a wizard at these 8.1L so I hope he chimes in. Money is not problem between the 2 transmissions and what ever one I run with will have a gear vendors.

Here is how I installed the NV4500 in my '72 Dually:

A really easy & cheap way to get a heavy duty manual 5 speed overdrive in your truck. You just need to pay attention to what year and vehicle the trans and bell housing are out of.....
You won't need the GV unit with this trans. I can pretty much run any speed I want on the interstate with or without the trailer.
