Something about gear splitting that is ultra cool.

That road ranger is baad I actually would do that over a nv4500 except for the fact a 465 shifts like your towing it through rocks
Yours must have rocks in it. Mine have never been that bad
The only Sm465 I've ever hated shifting is the one in my 91 K2500. The detent springs are extremely stiff.
Staying in gear isn't always a bad thing. It forces you to torque your way out of situations instead of downshifting.

I guess I should rephrase. The shifter in that truck is springloaded to keep the stick in the 1-2 portion of the gear pattern. When shifting from 3 to 4 you have to hold it to the right or It'll find 2nd. And to hit reverse you've about got to rip the stick off the springs are that stiff. Extremely annoying to say the least.
88-up body style with 465 have a aluminum shift tower with a bit of redesign and different position for the shifter tower .
some guys like to find them for the older trucks to make them shift better over the cast iron top style.
Even with mine having the broken spot welds on the handle, mine didn't shift too bad. You just couldn't go all Ronnie Sox on it and get in a hurry to shift it. I didn't mind it, but it sure could have used another gear.
I still like the NV4500 better for shift quality and the extra gear.
Just thought I'd put another post here without a picture!

Yep yep.
I think the tire size will work out well on the highway. As for shiftablity, I am curious if the lighter oils will make that better.
The one in it doesn't shift as well as yours. Hopefully the one I got from Chris runs smoothly. Feels right decent rolling it over in the garage
All these shift problems....
You shushAll these shift problems....
I slush, get it straight.
Yeah having have plenty of both I hate the aluminum top ones myself. The old iron tops shift just fine
You're still six lug, why didn't you just buy 15" tires???

The only 37s available for 15s were sucky
But they would have looked good on some GM wagon wheels!

Yeah I know.
I looked at the wagon wheels. Only ones I could find were new and $40 a wheel more.
