Tranny replacement
I have 3 on the tree. Is there a 4 or 5 speed manual tranny which can be bolt on instead of the 3 speed? Now that we are at it, I also have two piece drive shaft. When I grap the front section behind the tranny, I can easily move it up and down and side to side. I was wondering how much play should this section have? Is there any donor vehicle that I can use to tranny and drive shaft?
Sorry if I got side track a liitle!!. Thanks

Re: Tranny replacement
I have heard you can use a S-10 5 speed, but the tranny isnt as strong if you have a built motor, I have thought of doing that with my 67, just got to find a donor truck..

Re: Tranny replacement
I would use the NV3500 (or is it the NV4500) out of a later model c/1500 or 2500. You'll need to adapt it over to a hyd clutch set up, but that isn't too hard from what I've seen on here.

Re: Tranny replacement
Your driveshaft play may be due to your center support bearing. Sounds like it may be worn out.
