3 speed manual to 4 speed manual....?

[firstgencamaros]

Hello all,
I have a 68 short bed fleet side with a 3 speed manual. I am considering puting a car 4 speed in it. Muncie m-20 or b/w t-10. Has anyone done this? Can the 4 speed hang out like the 3 speed does or do I need to put in a rear crossmember? Any idea where the shifter will need to come through the floor and where to get the correct arm? Any help from you guys would be great.
Thanks,

Nice looking truck ya have there, and, yes, you can swap to a car type 4 speed. It's a direct bolt-in. You can let it hang (I did, for a while, untill I found a rear crossmember). The shifter I use, is a Hurst from a 57 chevy, it fits real good. Most Muncies have the speedo cable outlet on the passenger side of the tailshaft housing, making the stock speedo cable too short. I use a cable from a 1975 Monte Carlo, the length and cable ends are perfect. Oh, the rear crossmember I am using was from a 1972 C-10 with TH 350 trans. You don't have to run the rear crossmember, but it looks more secure if you do.

A Saginaw 4-speed wouldn't even need a changed speedo cable. Where to come through the floor depends on the tranny. . .
