need some help with a T5 install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

z67 · 10-25-2012, 10:24 PM

I have a 67 c10 long box with a 4 speed floor shift, with granny gear bolted to a 327, and it looks like I have a high hump 6". I've been looking at a lot of threads in the last week and have not been able to locate anything that talks about if the t5 will work in a high hump? Also, my 4 speed does not look like anything that I have found in the pictures. Mine is very short with no tail end. The shifter boot is very close to the dash. Has anyone done this t5 swap in a 67-72 chevy truck...have any pictures as to where the shifter will end up? Also, how can i find out what gear ratio I have in the rear axle without taking the back cover of? what's the most cost effective way a t5 or a 700r4 ? I'm thinking the t5 since I already have the clutch setup and won't have to chance my steering column, any help is very much appreciated

There are some very fine threads in the FAQ section on T5 swaps, One by Brad, and another by Jocko

I too have been considering this swap. I have pretty much the identical truck as you. These tech threads pretty much sum everything up. You will have no problem getting that trans under a high hump. I would locate another hump cover to cut the hole so you don't ruin the orig one. The camaro gearbox with the s 10 tail seems the way to go!!

Just need to know If the shifter will reach to the top of the hump.
