I have a 66 k10 with a granny gear 4 speed and a np 205 transfer case, that came from a 72 pickup, along with the 350 ci engine.

With the low range available, granny gear is completely useless for me.

I would love to swap in a 4 or 5 speed tranny with regular gear ratios, but my knowledge level is not up to the task ( yet)

Thank you in advance for any info.

I really have no idea if the 4WD version of the T5 would work. I've never opened one up. I have a real concern that it would not hold up well in a bigger truck. I think the 4WD versions of the T5 only came in S10 trucks and maybe some S10 Blazers. I just don't know enough to help you.

I'd suggest looking for a heavier duty 4WD transmission than the T5.
