67 c10 with 5 speed s10 tranny questions

[factoryorange3]

i have a 67 c10 that i am putting a 292 straight 6 in and i think it would be nice with a 5 speed s10 tranny. I am wondering what years s10s' had five speeds and what the compatibility would be. Any information or input would be great guys!

Check the FAQ area, under engines IIRC. There are a couple very good write ups on just that.

you would want the 4.3 model the years for those started in mid year 88 and stayed in till the end of production run 03 [04 s10's were built but they were 4wd]. The earlier 5 speed would be from the 2.8 engine and the bellhousing from a 305 camaro would work. but I would stay with the one from the 4.3 as it was a light duty truck trans basicly the same as in the 1/2 ton 5 speed trucks[fullsize] from 88-07 with a few changes.

thanks for the link. to day we picked up a 79 c10 parts truck. the plan is to use the front crossmember and swap it so i will have power steering,disk brakes, and five bolt lug pattern. put it this way i have my work cut out for me this month!!

look for the "square body" s10 5spd or an 80's camaro, the square body also. i dont know much about the round body s10s, but i do know that the square body 5spd is called a t5 and all you need is an old manual trans bell housing for it and it will bolt up. i was looking at buying a friends t5 out of his 86 s10 and putting it in the 71 elcamino i used to have and make it a "pro touring" car.

I installed one in my '67 with a 250 6 cyl. I love it... My '67 had a 4 speed from the factory.

Here is a decent thread on the swap.

I've got a 68 C20 with a 292 and an 83 Camaro T5 in mine that works great. When I got the truck, it had a 1980 Camaro Saginaw 4 speed. To run the Camaro transmissions you will probably need bucket seats do to the shifter location.
