3 speed transmission swap will it work
I have an early model 67 c10 with a straight six and a three speed on the column. I found a newer style three speed out of a 70 model that has a V8.
Both trucks are two wheel drive. Does anyone know if this would be an easy swap or if it will swap at all? Any information would be of great help. Thanks so much, Jake |

I Think it is the same thing, but others will say also. Jim

It's a different transmission, I do know that.

Re: 3 speed transmission swap will it work
Check length but IIRC, they are almost identical but the later trans had syncro low. I don't remember what year that started.

Re: 3 speed transmission swap will it work
Thank you all for your help.
I don’t believe that the bell housing would switch from a V8 to an IL6 and I was unsure if the driveshafts were the same. |

Re: 3 speed transmission swap will it work
The bell housing, flywheel, clutch and all from an I6 will fit a V8 since 1967. I know because I did it with a 1967 Chevy van. Dropped in a 283 in place of the I6.
