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.
I will keep my eyes open for a 32 spline shaft, thanks for the help! I am pretty partial to my np241 for how little I use it. It doesn't get a lot of strenuous use so I don't need the toughest tcase out there and its not extremely heavy like that of a cast iron case..

I appreciate your help! I will stop hijacking your thread now! I am sure in the future I will be asking more questions about the swap!
