Who was doing the Jeep transmissions with the Chevy bolt pattern and 904 gear sets?

Well from the wiki, the 80 - 87 Jeeps with the 2.5L. I assume the 232 & 256 six cylinders came with a different bellhousing pattern.

I think those were Pontiac Iron Duke engines put in Mail trucks .

I think that combo also came in an AMC Spirit.

The postal van transmissions were the only one with the chevy V8 bellhousing, nothing AMC. Not sure if they were 904's or 998's, never seen one. Would be a great find if they were 998's.

They were earlier Postal Jeeps that had the Chevy II 153 4 cylinder.
Fully loaded, the PG wouldn't cut it, so they needed a 3 speed... I thought A-1 did them at one time.
