Truck manual trans to 73 RR

[Pierce Gwynne]

I found a 318 dodge truck maybe mid 70’s with a 4 speed in a junkyard, me wanting a cheap way to get a 4 speed am wanting to throw it behind my 318. Is it even a good idea. I’m assuming its granny geared. Opinions/thoughts welcome.

It might be the a833 4speed and would would have the B/E tail housing. Get some pics and post them up so we can help identify it.

what does it look like ? does it have a outside the case shifter and linkage ?

I forgot to mention, it’s column shift. Does that mean it can only be 3 speed or did they make 4 speed column shifts?

I forgot to say it’s column shift. So it’s a 3 speed? Or did they make column shift 4 speeds

There were such things as four-on-the-tree, just not ever in a mopar. My high school english teacher drove one: a 60s mercedes diesel.

Sorry must have hit a button on my phone...didn't know I did that...fat fingers...my bad!

Thanks for mentioning that. 5.7 hemi...I got it off.

A three speed would still be fun! And you could do the swap and change it to a four speed later pretty easy.

My brothers 70 challenger with a 360 had its fastest e.t. with a 3 speed and 3.23... he lost a half second when he went to a 4 speed. The car liked the low first gear. But for overall driving fun..4 speeds rule....he would never go back....just a little disappointed at the track. 14.6. with a 3 speed....15.2 with a 4 speed

You can also use a 5 spd out of an early dakota. Basically a bolt on.
