Just getting around to swapping my 360 into my 87 D150 and found out the trans is a 904.I didn't think they put them in full size pickups?Has anyone seen this before?1987 D150 318 2bbl 2wd with an 8.25 rear end. I know this could have been swapped.I am disappointed as we are ready to drop it in and my 727 stall converter isn't going to work.

The high rear gear ratio was there for MPG, then you needed the low 1st and 2nd ratios to get it moving with the high gear. I have only seen the 904 and 2something gear ratios used together. Those trucks were not the 400hp and 10,000 lb behemoths we drive now days and with 200hp they would last forever (well almost). They were not desighned to get you anywhere in a hurry but carry a common size load cheaply and efficently. People back then normally used them to haul out the trash, get a few hay bails for the goats once in a while... now days people need a 3/4 ton truck to haul the fat butts around every day in luxury after pigging out at [censored] king.

For reals? THAT gets censored on here? Its probably using the two words in combination. You can talk about a burger or two all day long, and you can talk about a king or two all day long, but put the two together and your advertising, or slandering, depending on the words you use, I suspect. Gene
