700r4 vs Gear Vendors OD w/SW465 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SunSoaked · 03-29-2012, 11:45 AM

I like the SM465 and granny low gear but dont care for the 4th gear one-to-one with the stock 3:08 gears.

I have been thinking about swapping in a "built" 700r4 w/lockup but have concerns over durability with and all the work (shifter/cooler/lockup, etc) involved.

I recently stumbled upon the idea of adding the GV OD to the current setup. Thier site says it bolts directly to the back of the NP205. Since I'm swapping axles in the future anyway, changing gears is no big deal.

Has anyone done this before? Any info or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I I go this route, I'd like to convert to a hydraulic clutch linkage using the SM465. Thoughts?
