Just bought this truck, sorry if I sound stupid, but I have the frame in the garage and want to upgrade the driveline for highway speeds. I gather that I need a T-5, are they all the same? What do I need to bolt this up to the existing bellhousing? Can I use a solid driveshaft? Would I still need to change ring & pinion? Mine is column shift- is that a problem? I really appreciate any help, I'm new to this!

Changing the ring/pinion, with one of the units from Patricks would help. I think it changes your 4:11 to a 3:55. That will drop your engine rpm down at highway speeds. smile
