62' GMC 3/4 ton project

[72cs20]

Looking forward to seeing how you fit that NV4500 into your truck. Going to be a nice setup. BTW, if the 62 GMC floor is like the 62 Chevy, it is going to be real tight for the clutch fork on the driver side.

I'm also curious about how you're going to do the parking brake.

Hi, My original plan was to keep the sm420 for a couple years then change over to something different. My wife being the amazing woman she is talked me into doing it now in order to not rip the tuck apart again so I did not argue and made the phone call to Advanced Adapters that day. I can not wait to drive this truck with the NV4500!!

Was your c20 a high hump? I don't see the fork being an issue but I'm just going off of pictures at this point. The fork looks to be lower than the bottom of the cab.

As far as the brake...... Ummmm... yea! Whatever happens I want to use the original lever mounted on the new transmission somehow. I was thinking if I can get a yoke flange that will fit the nv4500 then maybe I can adapt the original drum to it, I guess we will see what happens when i get to that point. Second option is to figure out how to add e brake to my rear drums and run a cable from the stock lever. third option would be disk brake upgrade with Cadillac calipers. I really don't want disks on the rear as this will be a well used work truck but it is an option as one way or another I want to have an e brake. I could put a line lock in but I know it's not DOT or a good Idea to leave the system pressurized. I'm down to hear other thought as well.
