Somewhere down the road I may think about installing a 5-speed transmission
from an S-10.  Has anyone done this with a 3/4 ton AD, and does anyone know
the difference in gear ratio (or rpm at a given speed) between the original
4-speed w/granny gear, and the 5-speed?  And finally, how big a job is the
conversion?  I assume it will be more complicated than a straight bolt-in,
but will it take a lot of modification?

Thanks in advance-

P.S.  Thanks again, everyone, for all the responses to my heavy hauling
dilema.  Y'all gave me some great info!
