Re: 5spd swaps

I used a T5 from a 1990 Camaro in my 74 C10 for several years with no problems. Pretty straight forward swap. Only the T5's are getting scarce.
My current daily driver is a 85 C10 with a 6 speed (LT1 T56) and its about like my 5 speed swap only with one more gear. Used the same clutch pedal/master cylinder/slave cylinder setup with both transmissions. I'm thinking the shifter hole in the floor was about the same place for both trans and i'm pretty sure I used the same driveshaft with both as well. Best thing I did was get rid of that BORING automatic transmission.
