Something else I just thought of. In 1974 Toyota LC had a floor shift all syncro 4 speed trans. This trans looked like the older chevy truck 4sd. The mounting pattern was the same as a chevy. If I recall correctly the imput shaft is a little longer than a GM unit. I am not sure if this trans can be used without the transfer case, but it might be a consideration for someone who wanted an all syncro heavy duty trans. First gear is not as low as the GM first gear. With the 6 cyl I would always start in 1st gear. The LC had 4.10 diff. gears.
