And the 727s and A518s will not require a disc in the torque converter because they are not lock up. These torque converters are a lot cheaper than one for a lock up trans. If you set up the truck right as far as gearing, you can still acieve great mileage. Dodge used 3:07's with most of the 727s. If your truck has a chevy D70HD, I'd try to find 3:73's, but 3:55s or higher would be better for you.

thanks,i think ill look for a 518 or maybe a nv4500 or maybe a getrag 360 but A auto seems nicer loll and yea i have a d70hd with 4:10s
itll get converted to a 4x4 one day what gears would i need then? milages is eh to me

I would do the 4x4 swap before because you'll have to buy or make the engine crossmember then.And you gotta pull the engine to do the 4x4 swap so its like doing the cummins swap almost over.

Wow, that's cheap.

BTW I saw your truck on CL. Glad you decided to keep it.

I'm grateful that I bought mine before everything got stupid, I paid 500 for the entire truck and sold off the body parts to get most of it back.
