truck 4 speed question. Does M20 mean M20?
I have purchased a 68 Fleetside. I'm confused at the M20 on the SPID. Does it mean Muncie wide ratio or is it a granny gear?

It is the granny low muncie sm465. The spid on mine also says m20. That's just the way chevy did it I guess. The m20, m21 and the m22 muncies never came in our trucks.

As you have discovered, RPO codes get reused across different model years and different vehicle platforms.

M20 means wide ratio 4 speed. Same thing it meant in the cars. Only difference is it refers to what was available in the platform.

Re: truck 4 speed question. Does M20 mean M20?
M20 is the RPO code, not the transmission model #, just like an automatic is a TH350 or TH400, not an M49
