The biggest downside is that you have to move the SM420 back so there must still be room for the shifter, and the transfer case lever in the more rearward position.

Another option is finding the GMC V6 to Chevy automatic parts and using a TH700R4 or TH2004R behind it.
Great idea the Ranger box. However, that will probably mean I'll have to give up the 3rd seat as the shifter is set back towards the bench.

Automatic is an idea. Not my first choice though.

Finding overdrive here in the EU is much more difficult. First I need to drive my truck some, just passed the first inspection
