Anyone know if it will it fit a 66 longbed truck? Any other issues I should consider? Thanks.

The 68 El Camino more than likely has a Saganaw trans (7 bolt side cover) this is a full syncro 3 speed and work well in the older trucks. You will need to modify/cut your drive shaft to accept the later fine spline input yoke and will need either an after market floor shift assy or find the column shift parts for your truck. I hope this helps, Fred
