Re: Papa's truck

I found a 1988 s10 T-5 transmission that oddly enough has the same part number as a 85-86 with the ideal gearing for 5th gear of .72 OD. the first gear is the 3.73 that they come with when you get that 5th. I had the box inspected and my transmission guy said it was runnable but I opted to have him rebuild it. I am going to be using the jeep input shaft method with saves me from having to use a spacer plate and allows me to use my stock clutch. I have to modify the shifter and cut a new hole in the floor. after all of that is done I will have the drive shaft length changed. I will post some pics
