Which Trans? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought I was going to put a NV3500 in my 73' 1/2 ton longbed, but now I'm not sure. I want to keep the 250 in it, and probably the 3.73 gears too. Just not sure if I should go with an NV3500, a 200r4 or a 700r4. I want to be able to do some light towing (travel trailer, small boat, load of wood, etc.). I like the manual, just not sure if it will be the best for gearing and MPG (I want the option that gives me the best MPG possible). Any thoughts?
