i have a nv3500 5 speed in my truck and its shot and i cant seem to find another one but did find a nv4500 out of a 5.9 (gas) 2500 would that bolt in and work in my 5.2 or does absolutely have to be a nv3500?

 

I believe it will work, others will chime in on this. You might want to shoot MonteC a PM. Good find for the nv4500 none the less!

 

i think it would to because i don't believe the bell housings would be different or anything and itd the clutch and flywheel would be different even if i have to switch the transfer case with it i think i would be well worth it
but if anyone has any ideas or has did this before let me no cause i would like to make the swap asap

 

it bolts right in just make sure you get the shifter with it...
