I know this is the lazy way to find out, but why is the T-5 the "holy grail" for older truck conversions? And are all T-5s the same?

different models & which one to use. smile


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Are there other reasons for seeking the T-5s? I have a newly rebuilt saginaw but wonder if I should start looking for a T-5?

Search and you shall find. There have been tons of posts on here and on www.inliners.org about T-5 trannies. They're a good choice, but it all depends on your setup, and what you want from your truck.

All T-5s are not the same. Overdrive is the main reason for the T-5. Click below and look at my reply (jjk3) for T-5 links.
