NV4500 Swap

So I currently have a 1976 F250 4x4 single cab long bed with a 390 FE -> T18 to divorced np 205 Im looking at trying to swap the t18 for nv4500 I wanted to know if anyone has done this? I have seen the post on the 2wd f100 that did it. but looking for information on 4x4 on if anyone has run the divorced np 205 or just found a married nv4500 np 205 out of a dodge and then ran a carrier bearing on rear drive shaft.

Have you looked at Gear Vendors for an overdrive? I just ordered one for mine (not a divorced unit). The whole nv4500 route seemed like a more expensive and laborious prospect.

Give them a look. You will still have your granny first plus, more manageable gears in town and overdrive for the highway.
