1. Found a toronado transaxle with overdrive. Is this usable for our application? (Complete with lock-up torque converter)

2.Chrome 16" wheels from gm 3500.. are these chrome wheels or are they simulators. Are there real chrome wheels available?

Thankx

If it's a transaxle with overdrive then it must be from the next generation downsized model of 1979 thru 1985. Those will not work on our GMC's. Can you find out what year it is from??
