    Do the 1500HD's come with an 80e? That is still considered a half ton truck no?

    Dude just do the 80 swap and fugetta bout it, its easy as hell, get a 99-2002 cross member flip the mount around backwards, cut the brown and white wires on the stock harness hook the white to the brown on the plug, run a vss up to the 22 and 23 pins on the pcm call Allen for a tune and go drive with no worries every where you go, I blew up 1 60e swapped the bone stock 80 in with a yank verter and have never looked back, best decision I ever made with this truck.

    thanks for the input, im thinkin about just gettin an ext caddy and puttin wheels on it like everyone else and callin it done. arent the gear ratios in the 80e different enough from the 60e's that i would also need 2 sets of gears?

    The gears in the trans are different yes, but that wont effect your gears that are in the differentials. Only thing that will change is how long youre in each gear.

    Not really... The first gear is higher, which means less take off power and the overdrive is a lower ratio as well so the cruise RPM would be higher. Not enough either way to absolutely demand a gear change, but there is a difference.
