Is this a rare trans?
Looked at a truck today with a 3 on the tree. It had a trans listed on the SPID. It was a little faded but believe it to read 4M17AB 3 SPD TRANS. Is this a borg warner? Wasn't that the desirable one?

Re: Is this a rare trans?
If it's listed it's the HD one. I don't know the numbers off hand.

Re: Is this a rare trans?
What distinguishes a HD 3-spd? I had a 3-spd one time that had an extra mounting tab in the top center. Looked like every other 3-spd otherwise. When I had it at the swap meet guys would stop and stare. Some said it was a heavy duty truck trans.

Either way, I'm wondering if this 68 C10 I've spotted is more valuable because it has this?

Re: Is this a rare trans?
Anyone have the '68 code book? M 17 is the option.

Re: Is this a rare trans?
It's not more valuable to most people. There may be a few people that would pay more, but you have to find the right one. The things that make it more valuable are the things that a lot of people are willing to pay more for like tach, tilt, tow hook, cheyenne super, short bed, etc.
If you are looking to resell I wouldn't pay any more for that truck than any other truck.
