Muncie 4 speed or 3 speed with low?
 

I have a 1972 K-10 V-8 with the muncie 4 speed. My friend says I have a three speed with low. Of course we're both agreeing I have four forward gears and one reverse. My question is can anybody produce any proof as to which one of us is correct? Three with low or four speed?

AFAIK, you're both right. Aren't all of the four-speeds in these trucks (originally, at least) "granny gear" four speeds, where first is obscenely low to get moving with big loads?

almost all where.... there was some NP trannys that had a low 1st but not near as low as a 465....

If its a muncie it would have an alluminum case. thats what i've always known. Dave

only the car 4 speed sideloader muncie 22 were aluminum, truck trannies are toploaders, a whole different animal than the car trannies, 71 K Twenty dont even try it lol...

for 67-72 trucks there were the

sm420 7.06 first in 47-67

ch465 in 68-88 6.55 first

Warner T10 3.44 first

NP 435CR 4.56 first

NP435C 6.68 first

they are all toploaders and are huge compared to car trannies
