SM 465 to NV4500 Question

July 07, 2026, 10:42:19 pm by Mike81K10

Will the NV4500 directly swap with the SM465 (have an NP205 transfer case)? Will the transmission cover in cab work with the shifter location or will it have to be relocated? Will the driveshaft have to be modified or will it work? Will the NV4500 be good for the highway? It was a while since I drove my truck and when I had it on the highway with my 383 stroker, it just needs top end assistance. Winding out and not getting the performance with the SM465. Is not good for highway? I never had a problem with my stock 350 or just didn't realize a problem in the past.

I want to keep a manual transmission! I think an automatic may be too much trouble!

Something quite polarizing... Train horns

Was watching videos of these things.

I enjoy my Hornblasters Shocker XL kit with a 5 gallon tank.

Lots of people love em, lots of people hate em. I don't do pranks, I only use it when someone comes into my lane (and they go right back the #$%^ where they came from) or with deer. The deer are funny. They run out in the road and you hit the horns and they start scrambling on the pavement like a scared cat on a linoleum floor in the kitchen.

If you're within 30 feet of it it hurts. I know this, because a few times I drove it to work, got home, drove in the garage, closed the door, was getting out and my lunchbox hit the steering wheel button... man if I'da had to pee i think I woulda.

I also added a Chevy C60 airbrake gauge where the blank one normally is to keep up with the 150psi the horns have in the 5 gallon system. I like stock look. my gauge is an 80's version but the 70's versions are like finding hens teeth and when you do find one they're prohibitively expensive. I'm happy with what I have though. have all 4 horns under the hood on the front half of the LH wheel housing. Compressor mounted on the RH wheel housing. even made a manifold for it that takes normal air hoses so I can use it to pump up tires or whatever you may need air for...

Can't promise there's no swearing but here ya go guys. get to see the gauge and hear the horn.

I love em but don't be an idiot with them.

77 Chevy Sport and 62 C10, my first trucks back in the 80's and 90's

Found some old photos of me when I was 2 n 3... 1982 and 1983 with my dads 77 Chevy Sport truck. Ended up being my first vehicle. had no stripes by then but still had the rollbar and aux switch on the dash where the fuel tank selector normally is.

In the first pic the 78 C20 I have now was inside the middle door of the garage. Just waiting.
