auto-to-manual trans conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 11-29-2009, 10:00 PM

anyone know of a supplier that sells all the parts needed to convert from automatic to manual for a truck that was originall equipped with a manual trans? (trying to decide if I need to dig thru a junkyard, but in case can't find all I need, wondering if there is a supplier I could rely on. I can always find the small parts at LMC and classic industries, but I'm talking about the clutch pedal and under dash stuff specifically - and the z-bar, mounting stuff, etc. Anyone done this (surely...) and wondering if there is any under dash welding required, etc. Have to change over the brake pedal also I imagine.
Found a nice 65 C10 that has a TH350 in it and I plan to swap a 4 (or 5) speed into.
Thanks!
Jocko
