The 47RE would hook right up to your NP205....

You will need the computer to run that transmission though. It's not a hydraulic trans like a 47RH, The 47RE requires a brain to run it.

Won't gain much else, alot of parts on the truck will sell especially interior parts and stuff, and of course the dana 80 rear etc.

It's the same basic engine with the P-pump and bigger I/C, thus the increased HP-rating.

No, the auto trucks had 180 hp pumps. The 215 pumps came in the manual trucks.

The 180 pump still is a huge plus, though.
