Hi, first time here. I am looking at a 1982 D150 Slant 6 with 4 sp manual toploader NP435 with granny 1st. I want to replace with a 4 sp with over drive. What can I put in the truck? A535 or a A833 OD? The truck is a 4x2 shortbed. |

You will need to secure the linkage, tranny, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, and drive shaft yoke from a similar year Truck to bolt in an A-833OD...( you may not need the linkage if your NP435 set up is not hydraulically actuated. The bolt patterns between the two bells are different and the NP-435 bell houses a large flywheel with the 11" clutch...the OD tranny only used a 10" clutch and the smaller flywheel). Unfortunately I have only mocked up an adapter plate that would allow you to just "plug and play" the A-833OD. Sunday I just got the bell bolted to a mock block and crank and the input shaft seemed to be spot on... probably be next spring before I have it installed and working. -D.Idiot |

The truck I found is in excellent condition, it's just the non-od 4 speed manual that bothers me. So basically its not that simple to do (yet). I am looking for fuel economy as this will be my daily driver. I currently drive a 1969 Plymouth Valiant 4dr 225 Slant 6 with a 904 and 14" tires. I get 16 city 20 hwy. not great, but ok. I also have an 88 W100 4x4 319 shortbed, it sucks gas..... I don't need it want another slant 6... my 69 is my fifth slant. Thanks for the heads up. Jeff |

My bad, my 319 dodge would be very rare, it is of course a 318... |

I'd be interested in the flywheel and bellhousing if there were a way to get it here at a reasonable cost. |

Do you need a floor hump as well? I know the floor hump in a granny trans truck is shaped a little differently than an 833 OD truck. Can a hole just be cut in the side of the original hump or do you need to cut the hump out and weld in an 833 hump? |

If you're getting 16/20mpg with your current dd, you probably won't get much better with a truck. I have the same setup but with a long bed and an extra 500+lbs on my truck and I can get a solid 18hwy. The best I've ever gotten was 19. And I have an hei ignition, dutra duals with a 2.5" exhaust and a homemade supersix with a Carter bbd. I still only get 16-18. If I took some weight off maybe 20mpg. With a stock.engine with an OD tranny you might be able to get better but remember, it's all in your driving habits. Also these trucks are like pushing a brick through air. |
