A few years back, I tried to find an Overdrive for my '72 C-10 as well as my '68 C-30. I just love the idea of having a 5-Speed with an OD in my trucks. I didn't check into it very deep, but deep enough to realize that there was no easy way, unless I received the wrong or incomplete info. I mentioned the NP540 to some very knowledge-able guys and didn't get a big green light. I did a quick research just now and found this below. Although I'm a member over there and have talked about the subject over there, this is not my post.

Hopefully it will clear up some info and I welcome anything that anyone can contribute as it is a subject that I am still very interested in. Also notice another poster also saying that the OD Trans is "hard to find".
