OK, now I've run into a problem. I bought a rebuilt T5 that was said to be fully modified to bolt right into my 1942 3/4 ton. When I tried to install it yesterday, the bolt holes did not align with the bell housing. I know the 3/4 ton used a different bell housing than the 1/2 ton because of the larger clutch assembly. But I wasn't aware the trans bolt pattern was different. Apparently, I will need either an adapter plate, or an unmodified T5, or both, to get a T5 into my 3/4 ton. Has anyone put a T5 into a 41-46 3/4 ton? If so, what did you use to make the conversion? I would really like to keep my OE bell housing & pedals. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
