I have a 64 c-10. I bought a five speed manual transmission out of a s-10. This way I have overdrive for highway speeds, and I still have the torque in the low gears. I changed my engine out to a 350 V-8. If you are going to use the s-10 transmission, get one that is attached to the 4.3L engine. This is an easy match to a 350. I do not like the 700R4 due to it not being a strong transmission. Once you get over 300 hp, you will tear that transmission up.
