Do research before starting threads, not trying to be an *******, but there is a reason there is a search.

T56 is a 6 speed, its what 4th gen fbody's use.

NV3500 is the standard 5 speed in the late model trucks.

NV4500 is the standard 5 speed it is used in 3/4 tons behind the 6 liter, i dont know much about them.
