Re: 5-SPEED transmission swap in a '72 4x4

I`ve gotten around 100,000 miles from NV4500s in two different`K3500s w/6.5TD.I ignored the "no tow in o/d" warning.The NV4500 is hardly a rinky dink trans for a light truck.They can take torque in the 500+ range w/no problems.Anything more than that,you`re on your own with any light truck tranny.
