4-speed swap into 71?
I might be trading for a 71 2wd Longbox with a 350. This truck has an auto, and I have a parts 77 2wd with a 4-speed. Can I swap the 4-speed from the 77 into the 71? How hard would it be and what would I need to do the swap? All the info you guys can give me would be great. I am not a big fan of autos and that is why i would like to swap. Thanks for all the info you guys have.

You are better oof finding a truck with the 4 speed in it. It isn't as easy to convert from an automatic to manual as it is to convert the other way. Never the less here goes... This is assuming the truck has a V-8.
Manual transmission starter V-8 bell housing crossmember V-8 Bell crank bracket for the frame V-8 Bell crank Bell crank stud that screws to the engine Clutch rod, and associated parts Clutch springs Manual bell housing Clutch Pressure Plate Throwout bearing new front half of driveline New manual transmission style carrier bearing bracket to mount the new manual style carrier bearing manual transmission clutch and brake pedel assembly If you want your reverce lights to work, new wiring. I am sure that there are other things you will need, it is hard to remember them all. Good luck. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Right, like I said I might be getting a 71 LWB with an auto which I am not too fond of, but what can you do?
