Re: Sm318 to Sm420 swap in 59GMC

I've got a full syncro Saginaw 3 speed out of a later Chevy truck in my 48 and that has been one smooth working transmission. My buddy gave/traded it to me years back when the Muncie 3 speed I had in it needed serious work.

It is similar to this one out of a 68 Chevy and they came in 66 to early 70's Chevys.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
