That is my favorite body style of chevy trucks. I use to have one back in the day. Anyways, if the truck has an overdrive already, then any overdrive will work. I think the only one that will not fit is the 2004R.... any others are good to go. Good luck with the project!

Andrew
Is your 83 a four wheel drive? Silverado?

Love the square bodies. owned too. Most notably Project Red Rocker which I built back in 2004 and debut at Sema. Hill's hot Rods did all the work on it.

you can make anthing fit.all you need is a good imagination and some tools. good luck with whatever you decide to do.you have a mile of room underneath this one especially if it hade a manual tranny the center section unbolts from the inside.
