I am not sure the input shaft has the same number of teeth or even if the M22 will bolt up to that bell housing, and I don't know if any other trans that came in the truck had the same length or output shaft, so it will be interesting to hear from others what it will take.

My guess its a bear cause you will need to change bell housing, clutch, linkage, shifter, crossmember fab, special driveshaft, etc. so..... if you are going to use it as a truck keep the granny gear, if you are gonna just cruise it then its worth it to go with the M22 they are very strong and should handle a hopped up small block or even a mild Big Block.
