Have any of you ever installed a 5 speed transmission in one of these trucks? Like a NV 3500 or 4500 out of a 90's era truck? With the rising cost of gas I think this might be an economical way to run lower gears like a 3.73 to retain low end power and lower rpms on the highway to help with fuel consumption. Let me know what you all think.

I just realized I should have put this on the Q&A section but you all can still tell me what you think. I don't guess it really matters. Ha Ha

Well, I guess if Dave don't like it here he'll move it over!..LOL ;D
Shouldn't be any problems, just have to rig up clutch linkage and stuff, probably a hydraulic setup would be the simplest!.... A 700R4 with manual lockup will give the same results though, and way cheaper(unless you already have one), that's what I'm putting in mine!..
