They the cheapest you could find in the mid 50's! We use to end up breaking the stick off and fabricating one to our own lacking. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 | Are the transmissions the same between car and truck? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,097 | The simple answer is yes in those years. The difference is in the side cover in order to correspond with the shift arm/rods. Also the lower mount holes are threaded on the truck case. The car uses a plastic spedo gear, the truck is steel so the spedo drive gears are different sizes. Same internal components and gear ratios.
