63 chevy truck T5 swap questions

I have been searching for a parts list of what I need but have not found it.

Here is what I have.
63 Chevy truck. Appears to have been a 3 on the tree truck at one time. Was converted to sbc 350 with a turbo 350 tranny.

There are two crossmembers. one where the bellhousing area is and one further back.

The original clutch pedal is still in the truck.

I want to stay with the small block chevy and go to a 5 speed manual shift with non hydraulic clutch setup.

Does not matter if it is mechanical or electronic speedo.

I will need the T5, bellhousing, clutch. Anybody have a parts list?

And any other info or links that will be helpfull would be great. I am going to continue to search for links that will point me in the right direction to.

thanks,
Mike

Re: 63 chevy truck T5 swap questions

If you don't use the bellhousing that has the side mounts, you will want to remove the bellhousing crossmember. '63 was the first year for mechanical clutch linkage. You will need a trans with a mechanical speedometer drive if you are wanting to run your original speedometer.
