Column Shift Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**66gmcguy** · 10-20-2021, 04:26 PM

Hello all. I am swapping a 4L80E into my 82 K2500 that currently has an SM465. Regarding the shifter, does anyone know if columns from trucks that had a 700r4 are different than ones with a TH350/400? I'm trying to avoid as many potential snags as I can so I can get the swap done as quickly as possible, and since I have to buy a column I'd rather buy the right one if there's a difference between the two.

The column is the same for the TH700, TH400, TH375, TH350, TH200, & Powerglide.
You can change the indicator in the bottom of the cluster. The indicator needle is run with a cable on the column collar.
Some of the 4L80E used a shift cable.
