GM TRUCK 4SP MODEL SM420 TO

TOYOTA L/C 4 SPEED TRANSFER CASE

GM & CHEVY SM420 TRUCK 4 SPEED 1948-1967:

This transmission can be identified by a case length of 10-1/2". The casting numbers on the side of the case should be
GM3761930 or GM3813389. The transmission has a shift cover that bolts over the top of the transmission that has a shift
cover part number of GM591568. The P.T.O. opening is on the left hand side of the main case and the transmission has
a non-synchro first gear.

The transmission you select can either be disassembled and machined for a snap ring that will retain the rear main bearing,
or the new set collar we supply in the adapter kit can be used in place of the snap ring. If this set collar is installed properly,
it will do the same job as the snap ring. Make sure the collar and the clamp screw secure the shaft from any forward
movement. The drawing will illustrate the dimensional data for installation of a groove that must be cut into the shaft for
holding the rear bearing in position. There are a few stock applications where this snap ring will already be in place and
the transmission will not need the new snap ring or set collar.

The right side of the main case will need to be ground off for clearance of the front output yoke on certain installations.
We recommend a trial fit with your transfer case and front output yoke so that any modifications that may be required can
be done before final installation into the vehicle. This is also a good time to set up the shifter linkage for the transfer case
controls.

The early Chevy truck 4 speeds were equipped with the small front bearing retainer that is 4.686" in diameter and must
be used with either early truck bellhousings or late model car-type bellhousings. The late model truck bellhousings all use
a 5-1/8" retainer size that will not be compatible with this transmission.

We changed the design of these SM420 kits to incorporate a spud shaft design in 1988. Prior to this time, we manufactured
a completely new main shaft for all SM420 transmission conversions.

First Gear 7.05
Second Gear 3.57
Third Gear 1.70
Fourth Gear Direct

REFERENCE ONLY: May 1992 adapter housing increased in length to 4-1/2" and coupler Part No. 711326-16

was changed to 52-4601. This change was made to increase spline contact
onto output shaft of SM420 transmission.
