Installing The NV4500 5 Speed Overdrive Transmission In The C-30

[hugger6933]

I have already been kinda thinking about working on my C-30, and I even put a battery on it and drove down the road for the first time this week. [I bought it in Jan I think and had only moved it a time or two around the lot]I got a seat for it today and a rear end out of a square body to get rid of the 5:38's I don't know what the new rear is but it HAS to be an improvement. I had been thinking of going with a turbo 400 I have in my 68 GMC and briefly though about using some spare parts laying around and put in a 5.3 with a 4L80E. i think I'm better off with either the 400 or a 4500 5 speed. What year is your, and what are you gonna do about the speedometer? Thank you sir for the inspiration. Jim

Hi Jim,

My truck is a 1972 and the transmission is the '93-'95 Chevrolet variety. I will probably use the SpeedHut GPS speedo. I put one in my Green '67 when I installed the S-10 5 speed in it and I have been very happy with it.
