Yeah, that is for sure albeit 91’s are hard to find. For that matter a 1985 and newer NP205 also have the round pattern that fits the NV4500 and 32 splines as well. I don’t find 1990/1991 donor tcases with VSS as a bonus for those of us running older trucks with speedo cables and manual transmissions. VSS isn’t required for the NV4500 nor required for Gen III/8.1L swaps. VSS on an 1989 and older square body (cable driven speedo) is nothing but a hindrance that forces many sheeple into buy expensive Dakota Digital type clusters when there really is no need to. Neither of my 8.1L/NV4500 rigs run VSS or anything aftermarket in the clusters. The cluster doesn’t know if there is a late model SFI big block under the hood or a timid little TBI 5.7L and the engines have no idea (or care) how fast the truck is going. For those reasons, I’ve personally steered clear of 90/91 square body tcases. If I was running a 4L80E that might be a different story where VSS is more important.
