swap to a 4 speed, that would be sick, what kind of motor? 350? run the numbers
heres a good source http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.php (scroll down)

[oldblue1968chevy]

yeah 350 ive already ran numbers

its not stock to the truck but hey it runs
but wat do u gotta change to go to 4 spd

[Hoffman65burb]

probably fab up a cross member/drive shaft extenstion (i dont know how big a 3 speed is), but mybe its the same size as the 3 ott? you already have a clutch pedal. Mybe someone that has done the swap will chime in

[LuckyHenriksen]

Which type of 4 speed, truck or Muncie? The muncies are pretty long if I remember correctly. One might fit in the stock location.

[oldblue1968chevy]

not a m22 lol id like one but cant afford it...

a good 4 sp under 500 (thats with intstall and everything) is it possible?

[LuckyHenriksen]

How 'bout a T5

[texanidiot25]

Camaro and 90s GM truck manuals are still pretty cheap.

my buddy just sold a saginaw 4 spd for $50. it only ended up needin a shift linkage. i was gonna buy it but i didnt have the money so i told him he could sell it

[tim21391]

looks good except for the floor... floor pans should be easy for you to put in.. i just patched a piece in by the cab mount bolt so i didnt have to do much patching... but still nice truck... i like seeing guys our age with trucks like this

[oldblue1968chevy]

gawh all yall that posted up there in hs??!! were growin fellas!!!

wat kidna tranny is that lucky??

i dont want the granny low 1st tho

[LuckyHenriksen]

The T5 is the 5 speed that came in 3rd (and possibly 4th?) gen f bodies and maybe other vehicles too. I hear that people have good luck with them, while others keep blowing them up. I think it would be fine behind a mild motor if you didn't drive like a bat out of hell. Another member on here, Brad, has a T5 behind the six in his truck
