My GMT400 with the NV4500 HD trans had that shifter with Granny gear. That thing was a bulletproof tank.

Yea, I thought I did good when I sold it for 4500 after buying it for 3k two years prior. It's probably worth near 10k now because :fullretard:

My doge had the NV5600 :sissyfight:

It was indeed bullet proof. 1st gear + low range on the transfer case made for giggles crawling hills at idle.

Right, hence the :unicorn: You picked a V6, 2wd, long bed, which no one gives a shit about.

I've only seen two. Had I made the three hour drive the first time I saw one, I would have bought it.

Man, I saw a 2wd single cab flare side in yellow recently. Talk about a unicorn.
I wanted to get one for some time, but as quickly as they pop up, they sell.

My Dakota's had the NV3500, with the S-10 having the NV2500

Seems we have covered the entirety of the New Venture range.
