TH350 to 4speed STD....advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went to start my truck (72 K10 LWB) the other morning.......not good. Front seal (I'm guessing) puked out on the trans, all tranny fluid out onto the laneway. Now halfway through pulling it out to fix (laying on my back in said trans fluid...) and started thinking.
I've always wanted my 4x4 to be a 4spd....just always thought they were cooler and tougher. I have access to a stock trans (71 4x4 Blazer), I have bell housing/pedals/linkage/floor hump in other parts truck (69 1ton). I'm not looking for a long term laneway project....already got the first snow....the warden doesn't want me stealing her car for much longer.....need my truck.

Send the auto out for a rebuild, or do the swap now? Anyone been here?
