4 speed guys, I have a question :

Most trucks beyond a 1/2 ton used the "granny gear" 4 speed which is a new process 435 unit. The bolt pattern is different, its huge and HEAVY. Light duty trucks occasionally had the overdrive 833, light duty, same pattern as a regular a/b/e 4speed, but with a larger bearing retainer.
It sure is a slow shifting dump truck of a transmission. Strong though.
I’d have to move my divorced transfer case and crossmember back a few inches.

My first attempt would be to use the shorter A-Body tail housing but would need the shifter in the B/body location. So an adapter plate (similar to the B-Body trans in an A-body adapter plate) would need to be made, only in reverse, …….I think. ****. I dunno. Lol
