transmissions

yesterday I pulled the c70 trans (cm-5052) and nv4500 out of the c3500hd. The spicer cm-5052 is super stout but no overdrive and majorly cracked bellhousing. The nv4500 lots like a toy next to the spicer but it to had a minor crack on the bellhousing. Oh well. I did some research and ended up with a pair of spicer 3053a trannys out of m35a military 2.5 ton trucks. Should work great for this detroit as they have the SAE 3 bellhousing and can handle some serious torque. Also they have overdrive so that will be nice.

Also bought a grumman p30 frito-lay van with cummins 4bt today. Looking forward to driving that thing around town for a while. It's not my first 4bt but the first non-industrial one I have had.
