With the 4.10 gears and the 3 speed it would be a good candidate for a 5 speed OD trans swap. I used an S-10 5 speed in my '67 with the I6 and it was pretty straight forward. Didn't have to mess with any of the clutch linkage. The only things I had to do was replace the clutch disk with one out of an Astro Van, get a 1/2" adapter plate, (between the bell housing and trans) and shorten the drive shaft. Works like a champ.
