Yes I believe (which I could be wrong lol) only 2 trannys came in that year Sm465 or the A833/np440

It doesnt have the gear pattern of the sm465 reverse is all the way left and up

Rpo code is MM7

For the Manuals yes, but the MM7 (A833) was only offered in 1/2T trucks.  They weight about 80lbs, they were the same as a the old Mopar trans, but with an aluminum case.  They also tend to leak, alot.
You will want to clean one up and seal it really well if you get one. There are 2 versions for the Chevy, one uses the Chevy ear mount pattern, the other uses Chrysler.

Thanks Chris, its the trans in my donor truck I will have my son pull it now I know it dont weigh more than him lol

here is a update

My son has fixed the brakes (still need to be bleed more or adjusted)
the fuel tank is back in not right though (fuel tank brackets are different from a cab/chassis then a regular pickup??) only one bolt lines up for the front bracket
I wired in all the gauges (had the boy replace the speedo cable but it reads 40 mph when sitting still)
We were close to having him drive it but Dad had to take it for a ride
I decided not to do the clutch since I figure he would burn it up lol
Got it on the road went from first to second and a loud boom now its stuck in 2nd (guess the trans and transfer case has to come out )
Like I said if I didnt have bad luck I wouldnt have any

Its not cab and chassis that makes it different, its year. For some reason, they moved the welded nuts, and the holes in the frame on the 81ish and up trucks. I put 74 brackets on the right side of my 86. I had to weld new nuts onto the front bracket to line up with the holes in the 86 frame.

Frogman, sorry to hear all this- Did you guys swap out that tranny or is it the old one that blew up? It sounds like the gear train got damaged. Maybe no lubrication? Chris said they were known for leaking. Hang in there. Your shoulder getting better?

We havent touched the tranny and as usual Chris is right this thing is a BIG leaker
I hoped against hope that the bad clutch would last at least till he got the basics down before we replaced the clutch.
Its raining again in MD so cant get much done .
Doc says the shoulder is coming along just saw him I am now up to lifting 25lbs lol
Think we are going to have to either rebuild this tranny or step up to a Sm465 and a new transfer case (junk yards have them and I can get both for 400).
Junk yards around here dont have one but can get me one for like 400 dont want to pay that much for something I am not sure how long it will last

Thanks

I don't know how big/long/weight of your camper, but, i don't think i'd pull a lawnmower with an escape. 

My sister pulls 2 jet ski's with an escape all the time. The back end doesn't even sag down the slightest bit. Although that is about as far as i would push it lol.
