T-5 swap into '59 Apache #761937 07/13/2011 2:09 AM

I know that on the AD trucks you have to use an 87 or earlier S10 tailshaft and fab a rear mount, but I have no idea what you have to do for a TF truck. Can it be done? The truck now has an SM420, and I'd like to keep the floor mount parking brake if I could, but I'd have to make it work with the cable parking brake setup on the Dana 60 rear I swapped in a few months ago. Has anyone done the swap? Just looking for words of advice here. Thanks... Chris
