You know that we love our square body, 1973-1987 Chevrolet trucks around here, and that’s not only because they look awesome but also because there is so much aftermarket support for them regardless of what you want to use them for. Lifted, lowered, race, cruiser, you name it you can do it with one. But what about those of you who have a 4×4 and want to swap a modern overdrive stick shift transmission into one? Thanks to this awesome kit from American Powertrain, that has never been easier.
