Room for a 5spd

[Young Ed]

Finally found a decent pic of one of the 5spds I'd like to try. Out of an early dakota. Will have to find a cheap one at the u-pull yard to experiment with though.

Good new Good news!!! Just talked to a guy who has done this swap in a 39-47 pickup. He said no frame mods required. He said the only mod he did to the cross member was weld brackets to the front to attach the stock S10 tranny mount. If he was closer I could actually buy his setup as he pulled it for a slant 6 auto swap for his wife.

If he's not close to you, who is he close to? Maybe someone else would be interested.

Probably a good swap depending on what his wife looked like and how well she could cook....

[Young Ed]

Sorry Shane wrong direction. He was east coast. And Don I figured someone would make that joke. The swap was so his wife would drive it too

[Niel Hoback]

No way, Don, one wife is quite enough.
