yep, they are synchronized first gears, the seven bolts are at least.
No, I havent gotten this one in yet, for good reason though...right after buying this one, I found another 3 speed overdrive for sale for $100.00 Its the four bolt non sync'd version, but still, for a hundred bucks i can't complain.
I went through this entire tranny on the inside and then cleaned and painted it. I figured since i have never driven an overdrive before, I learn on this less expensive version and not risk the seven bolt.
Ill post pics of it in my truck later this weekend, I might start a thread on rebuilding a three speed steering column too........Its what has delayed my project for this long.....
