WY Gear Vendors overdrive complete setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*sharpie1972* · 06-04-2010, 08:51 AM

Gear vendors overdrive unit. Currently in a 79 dually truck. Performs flawlessly. Rated up to 1200 HP. This one comes with the SM465 adapter, but you can get an adapter to fit nearly any trans or transfer case at www.gearvendors.com. Still in the truck so you can drive it if you are close by. Includes all wiring and electronic components to install. Driveshaft is also for sale if you plan on using in a long bed truck behind the SM465. $1500 plus $75 to crate and ship anywhere in the lower 48. Or buy the whole truck and drive it home with a strong rebuilt 454 and rebuilt front suspension for $3200. Thanks, Sharpie

**special-K** · 06-04-2010, 09:10 AM

I saw that truck and it had me thinking.Someone should buy this thing.What a deal!!!

*sharpie1972* · 06-04-2010, 09:18 AM

Hi Tim, fly in drive home! Beer and fishing while you get used to your new rig! Sharpie

jorgensensc · 06-04-2010, 12:10 PM

sharpie,
I may be interested but I need some more info. What rear end gears are in it and what size tires? Trying to make sure it will work on the Burb and Gear vendors needs to know that info to make sure it won't bog down. Also how many miles are on it? any paperwork with it? Thanks!!
Shawn

*sharpie1972* · 06-04-2010, 01:48 PM

Hi Shawn, 4.11 gears, 225/75 16" tires. No paperwork. California truck, previous owner said less than 50k on motor and Gear Vendors setup. Sharpie

GCncsuHD · 06-04-2010, 02:06 PM

Tempting...that 454 and OD would go nice in my K30. I guess that is 2wd though, so I would need an adapter for my 205.

jorgensensc · 06-04-2010, 02:47 PM

Sharpie,
Thanks for the info. After speaking to gearvendors the adapter plus wiring harness (for automatic ) would cost approx 750 plus shipping. This is a good deal for someone that wants the engine/tranny setup like it is, or has a manual sm465 already. Thanks for the info though. Good luck!
Shawn

*sharpie1972* · 06-04-2010, 02:57 PM

Shawn, no problem.
GC: I also have a 205 adapter that I could include instead of the SM465.

HuggerCST · 06-04-2010, 05:55 PM

Here's a Craigslist ad for adaptors. He has several and wants $75 for a TH400 adaptor, which is cheap IMO. Not mine, just thought it may help someone. http://sd.craigslist.org/pts/1767756858.html EDIT: My mistake, that was for a TH400 coupler.

*sharpie1972* · 06-04-2010, 06:00 PM

Thanks for the link! Sharpie

Dasani · 06-05-2010, 11:00 AM

If that was a 3+3, I'd buy it, my brother needs a big truck!

*sharpie1972* · 06-10-2010, 09:22 AM

Anyone want to split gears? Sharpie

junkyardjohn · 06-10-2010, 09:50 AM

I'VE GOT A 1980 1 TON DUALLY THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A TWIN OF YOURS. (NO GEAR VENDORS IN IT THOUGH) IT'S BEEN A FANTASTIC TRUCK THATS A REAL PLEASURE TO DRIVE & WORK ON. IT'LL PULL ANYTHING. YOUR'S SEEMS LIKE A REAL BARGAIN.

JOHN

*sharpie1972* · 06-10-2010, 10:07 AM

Hi John, they are rock solid trucks. This one is like driving a new one when you're going down the road, and it's only 1 payment not 60! Sharpie

YEP-- QUITE A LUXURIOS TRUCK. COULDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER IN A PICKUP. WHEN YOU CONSIDER IT WOULD BE ABOUT $36000 TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE OF THE SAME CALIBER, IT KINDA MAKES ME GLAD MINE WAS PAID OFF ABOUT 26 YEARS AGO.

YOUR'S WOULD MAKE SOMEONE A GREAT HAULER OR SHOP TRUCK. JOHN

*sharpie1972* · 06-18-2010, 10:12 AM

I'll be as far east as Halstad, MN on June 27th. I can deliver that far if anyone is interested. Sharpie

junkyardjohn · 06-23-2010, 12:52 PM

I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE HASN'T SNATCHED THIS UP BY NOW. THIS ECONOMY MUST BE BAAAAAD ALL OVER.

HERE'S A PIC OF MINE. MY SON JUST SENT ME A DIG. CAMERA FOR FATHERS DAY & I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. (OLD TECHNOLOGY ILLITERATE GUY HERE) TTT FOR A BARGAIN. JOHN

Vintage Windmills · 02-10-2011, 02:42 PM

Sharpie, do you still have this?

*sharpie1972* · 02-10-2011, 03:23 PM

Long gone (Saudi Arabia). Thanks, Sharpie

Vintage Windmills · 02-10-2011, 04:18 PM

Wow. The whole truck? I am looking for a gearvendors unit
Posted via Mobile Device

*sharpie1972* · 02-10-2011, 10:51 PM

Yep, the whole truck. Apparently they love square bodied big blocks over there. I thought the guy was a scammer, but he rolled in from Denver with a stack of Benjamins. I've got another GV unit for the same money. It was behind a 205 case with an automatic. In good shape. Thanks, Sharpie

Vintage Windmills · 02-10-2011, 11:51 PM

I was hoping to find one setup for a manual. I need to do some more research on hooking one up in my 67 and see about having a T221 adapter made.

*sharpie1972* · 02-10-2011, 11:53 PM

Gotcha. Good luck. Let me know if you get a lead on the T221 adapter. Sharpie

Vintage Windmills · 02-10-2011, 11:59 PM

Yep, I'm trying to figure out what all i can attach to this T221, it already got the PTO mini transfer case attached to it so whats one more gearbox gonna hurt

Lets see if i can't get 4 things to shift in this truck lol

But in all seriousness, i think the gearvendors unit would work great with the wide ratios in the SM420 and the torque of the 6 with the low rpms.
