An Overdrive Conversion Fit For A Classic Truck (http://www.customclassictrucks.com/techarticles/1101cct_overdrive_conversion_fit_for_classic_truck/index.html)Fuel economy and gas mileage are two terms that are impossible for truck enthusiasts to ignore these days. With the current trends in the price of oil, those of us driving gas guzzling or otherwise unfriendly fuel, consumers are going to get hit the hardest. There are numerous ways to increase the fuel efficiency of your truck, from updating that old Quadrajet to a modern EFI system, to changing the gears in your rearend. But one of the easiest and perhaps cheapest ways to go is to install an overdrive transmission. For those of you running a Muncie or similar manual trans behind a small-block Chevy, dropping in an overdrive manual trans such as a T5 or a Tremec TKO can't get any easier. And while a brand-new overdrive five- or six-speed gearbox may not be the cheapest way to reduce engine speed and gain fuel efficiency, there are junkyards filled with a great alternative, the T5.
