FOR SALE A-833 OD 4-speed

[68jim]

A-833 Truck OD 4 speed (9-22-83) fits 76-86 truck/van. Steel shifter mount fits truck, levers are 68-70 B Body, unsure of shifter rods. Hurst handle and shifter body appear to be 68-69 B Body, Tail-shaft same as 70-74E & B (rear not drilled), Trans yoke. Picked up in a bulk sale - I think previous owner was looking to convert and put this in a 69 RR but never followed through (it does not currently have the B-body mounting plate). I disassembled, cleaned/lubed shifter and it works much better. Gears inside look good and shifts well. Will need a gasket kit at minimum.

$700

Can pick up/ship from Portsmouth, VA 23703. PM for more info.

So would these be a direct fit for a factory 74 originally 3 speed manual car. Meaning no modifications to the tunnel etc,,

I had this at Carlisle last year and lots of talk about it - From what I remember the swap may still need a bellhousing. I don't know enough if the 4 speed will bolt up to a 3 speed housing?? You need to find the correct size input bearing retainer or have the bellhousing machined to fit the larger retainer used for trucks. The shifter is already for B-body but I think your 74 uses the same location as E body??, meaning the rear location. This has the bosses for them but just need to be drilled (easy enough) Last thing you would need is the correct shifter mount for your body (Brewers or ebay). Your tunnel is good to go.

I'm about 10 minutes south of the Monitor/Merrimack Tunnel

Yes this will work good in a 74 B body.
Would need a bell housing, and a shifter mount and rods for which setup that you want to use, bench seat versa bucket seats. Also different slip yolk and maybe shorter drive shaft. Tranny mount will work.

That shifter setup is for truck. Earlier and later B bodies both use different rods and mounts. Could probably use the shifter mechanism itself but the reverse lever is different and might make shifting in and out of reverse harder.
