Hello

I have just bought a car and asphalt automatic and I want to change my asphalt to Manual Is this possible?

The question here ..

Is the conversion process complicated? Are there problems in the future? Is it affected the sales process?

Do you advise me to stay the case as it is?

I am from Kuwait
He had earlier offered a total of my cars here

It looks great.
I wouldn't change a thing.

Indyuke · 08-27-2010, 01:30 PM

Wow! You have some nice vehicles over there! It's fairly easy to change over to a manual transmission. Things you would need to change or install are:

clutch/brake tree
install clutch linkage
steering column
floor hump
transmission (of course)
change the driveline length

But I agree with KEL. I would not change it if i were you.

Lee H · 08-27-2010, 01:37 PM

Very nice, I would not change it.

**a Good Man** · 08-27-2010, 01:47 PM

Thank you from the heart

I was very reluctant to not sleep yesterday.

eagleuh1 · 08-27-2010, 06:11 PM

Man, you got some nice old trucks over there. Are there very many others driving around your country? If so, how about some pics. Very nice truck also, I wouldn't change it if it were mine. Good luck.

If i just got a truck like that, i wouldn't sleep either! I wouldn't change anything since your other trucks are manual already.

gorgeous addition to your collection

Sillyoldman · 08-27-2010, 11:36 PM

Beautiful truck.

dougo · 08-28-2010, 12:33 AM

Nice truck. If it's original, I would not change it - it's going to be worth more if kept original. If not original engine, paint, etc. - then have fun with it. But, in my opinion - I would not change it. It's a nice truck... I'd leave it. Like others said... you've got manuals in your collection (nice collection by the way).

Congrats on the new addition.

**a Good Man** · 08-28-2010, 07:15 AM

Yes, there are a lot of fans and the owners of these trucks in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The truck has a long history and the glories and my grandfather was and my father have this truck is a good friend in all the roads ..

But unfortunately there are problems in parts and there is no trading interest in these pieces, but by purchase from the site EBAY

There is a private club I founded between the Gulf and the Middle East interested in trucks and cars have the members of this type and there are meetings each year and there are prizes .. See an example

Wow...you have some very nice trucks! If it were me, I would leave this truck as is.

gregg72340 · 08-28-2010, 08:42 AM

If it were mine I would leave it as is, That is a BEAUTIFUL truck!

raycow · 08-28-2010, 03:20 PM

It's your truck. If you prefer a manual to an automatic, you should have it the way you want it. The conversion is not difficult if you have a source for the parts. As long as you save the removed parts, you can always change it back to automatic at a later date.

red71cheyenne · 08-28-2010, 09:07 PM

Another beautiful truck! Welcome to the board and good luck deciding which way to go. I would leave it as is since you already have a couple of manual trucks. But thats just me and its YOUR truck!
