Replace sm465 with a different type

[tman]

Hey guys, I hate the 465 trans in my 74 . Is there a close ratio 4 speed that will hold up in my 4X4. My truck has 4.11 gears, NP205, And 350.

Your post has hurt my heart. That SM465/NP205 combo is my favorite! You may source an NV4500 from a newer OBS truck & put an NP208 behind it but I don't know about the particulars as I've not done one of those swaps. Maybe someone else here will have some better advice.
