Welcome to the stovebolt site!

This year of pickup is as old as I am but it a little to new for me to be of much help. However, Chevys are probably the easiest to swap things around in and I know there are some guys around here that have done this and can tell you what to look for.

Good luck!

The truck you speak of also was available with a V-8 engine. The tranny and bell-housing will bolt up with no problem. You will need to locate V-8 mounts, exhaust, linkages and a few other small odds and ends. cool


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
