Trans question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking at a 1980 K20 dually with 350/350 combo. Haven't seen it yet other than pics. Owner says good except needs brakes (no big deal). The only item that bothers me is he says trans shifts fine going thru gears, however you must manually down shift it when going down hills, etc. due to shift kit installed?? Also he thinks the trans came from a 69 Chevelle originally??

Can a 2wd car 350 be converted/used in a 4wd truck? Any suggestions as to what to look for or check out? Also any transfer/4wd items recommended to check out?

I have no knowledge of 4wd trucks so any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
