An Overdrive Conversion Fit For A Classic TruckFuel 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.

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.
