I have a 1936 Chevy lowcab pickup and I want to install a 235 from a 1953 Belair and use a 2005 Chevy Colorado rear end with 3.42 ratio. As I speak I have obtained a bell housing from a 1938 Chevy and the peddles, flywheel and clutch components. I know that I have to modify the front mounts as the 235 is a bit longer than the 207 and I needed at least a 1938 Bellhousing.

Now this is where I am seeking advice: If there were a way that I could but a tail shaft with an open yoke on my original transmission that would be fine with me for the time being. However if I need to obtain a different transmission such as a Chevy 4 speed from a '41+ year and then add the tail shaft for a 1 1/2 truck to give me the open yoke for the reared match up. I would welcome comments etc. I don't know of any other suitable transmission to use in this application. I would like to avoid getting another bellhousing to accommodate the bolt up of transmission
