wayno Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yep, that'd more than likely be a J block, is it 4 speed on the column? Where is first gear. or do you know yet? Custom type box, I wonder if it is a dealer option or someone made it, does this box have a dump system? Quote Link to comment

Custom type box, I wonder if it is a dealer option or someone made it, does this box have a dump system? Yes, i believ is a J block and yes it is 4 speed on the column, and I think is a dealer option, its original by factory! I don´t like very much speed in column! What is a dump system?
