Don't know but I maybe can help you with finding the right 3spd if you want to go that route.

bad6772 · 12-07-2007, 07:26 PM

yeah i might want to go that route?i have baught two 3speed trannies so far..both wrong....they measure 21 inches ....and i need one 17.......

I've got access to one from a '64 Chevy..If I can get under it I'll see if it'll work...4 speeds (Not the granny first gear type!) are fun in these trucks..Leave the granny low 4spds to the 4wds or the 3/4 or one tons though!

bad6772 · 12-07-2007, 07:34 PM

cool to leave mine as a close to original set up it should measure 17 inches.....to keep from cutting my drive shaft.....i am going to buy the 355/4speed and whatever else i might need..... i can get it all for a 100 dollars....so i think its money well spent.....i would just like to use the 82 setup.....i have four trans now...two 3speeds and 2 four speeds....but i dont have the correct bellhousing...from what i have been told..........

wibilly · 12-07-2007, 08:33 PM

is that 82 trans a overdrive with a hydralic cluch?i think that if it is anything other than a granny 4speed you will have to remove your crossmember and use one from an automatic trans truck. i may have the 3speed you need in a 67 that i plan on putting a 4 speed in

bad6772 · 12-08-2007, 05:35 AM

i will ask today if its hydro or not.....yeah i would rather have my original style trans.....but having problems finding one....as of now my truck doesnt hae or didnt come with a trans crossmember? was told mine is all original and i believe it to be......headed to work...thanks tony

bad6772 · 12-08-2007, 05:20 PM

checked out the trans today....its a non hydro so this set up will work??? also to add this is a non granny 4 speed....it also measures 21 inches...and it looks real close to the 2 3speeds i have already baught....other than the obvious..i basically want to run the 4 speed, the 4 speed bellhousing..shifter..and drive shaft......?

bad6772 · 12-11-2007, 04:26 PM

well it looks as if my 4speed deal is falling through free turned into alot more so lol forget it.....my step dad just found a 67 three speed....from what i have seen gm made three differnt style 3speeds in these truck. i don t have pictures to proove yet, but i will... i have looked at 4 different 67s and 3 had the same trans and one had one that is a cross between mine and the ones i have ..<it bolts the same as mine as far as two bolts going into the bellhousing and two into the trans....the one my step dad braught me ,i think will work...im just going to have my driveshaft cut or find the needed driveshaft....the input shafts seem the same.....its wearing me thin.. but it has been a great learning experiance, and hell thats been worth it....thanks for all the help and any more help you can give would be awsome..thanks ..........tony
