They sure did: http://www.coloradok5.com/specs.shtml
i bought a 1985 blazer.. with a manual.. smc465 and a hydraulic clutch....
so that would be a good thing to look for...
or you can always swap one in.. not hard.. but on a daily driver a weekend will be pushing it if you never did it before..... but hydraulic in the weekend is more duable than a mechanical....

I dont no if a t56 will bolt up to a transfercase, Though with enough money anything is possible!

hmm at least you said you were new so I will be nice
you wont find a much better tranny than the smc465.. plentiful around and very strong... VERY strong... and yes 4 speed.... granny, first, second, third...
however you can get a nv4500 (best year was 1994 I think with a low granny gear) and will give you overdrive.....
problem with many smc465 is the shift ratio....
1st 6.55
2nd 3.58
3rd 1.7
4th 1
the only sucky parts is that when you shift out of 2nd into 3rd.. 3rd revs REALLY FAR due to the big difference in the ratio....
nv4500 is what I want to do someday....
1st 5.61
2nd 3.04
3rd 1.67
4th 1
5th O/D 0.74

I have the sm465 in my 89, But was wondering what the difference is in strength compared to the nv4500?

Hmm, that is a ways away, now that I see your location. Yes, that'd be a 4x4.jfman said:A bit farIs it even a 4x4 ?
I found plenty of 3-4k 4x4 blazer but all are auto's

I believe they came out in the 89 and up gm trucks, But not 100% sure

yeah but the earlier years came with the better (lower) granny gear.. neither can match the smc465.. but still I would sacrifice some to get the OD!!!!

Will the smc465 TC bolt right onto the NV4500 ?
Same location ? (I'm concerned with having to have the driving shafts redone)
jfman said:
err huh?
they are both trannies... so they wont bolt onto each other.... did you mean.. will they both bolt onto the motor?
SM465 = Tranny
NV4500 = Tranny
NP205, 203, 241 etc...= Transfer Case
Unless I am mistaken (very possible) the SM 465 and NV4500 are interchangable in so far as they will both bolt to the block usign the same bolt pattern.
For what its worth, I did the swap from a TH400 to a SM465(lever, not hydro) and even though I am a hack, it wasn't that hard, although it took more than 2days, more like 4.

Need an adapter, but with an adapter, yes...
