Twin1960 4X4, thank you that helps. I will get with a local trans shop and see what they tell me. I they don't think it would be a good trans to use then I will skip that idea and go with the auto trans. I would like to stay with a stick shift just for the nestalgia.

Do you have any experience with these transmissions?

Tim (bessie) I don't ski any more and don't have any connections with anyone who does. Sking has gotten so expensive. I would rather put money into my truck. Besides, the older I get the longer it takes to recover from those bad spills. I can't stand the safe the bunny slopes.

Thanks guys.


If you didn’t skin a knuckle while you were working on your truck, you weren’t working hard enough!
