Hello from Wisconsin! Grant here. I've been thinking of trans swaps for my 59. If I use a Saginaw 4 spd, the shifter is side mounted, causing a bit of tight fit with seating arrangements, and a bit more difficult floor cuts due to supports, etc. A 5 speed, such as S-10 would have, is a top load trans shifter, logic says easier fitment for floor/shifter/seat. Please advise. Grant.

I couldn't be more happy with the S-10 T-5 I installed in my 37 Chev pickup behind a 56 261. I think it looks more correct than any other choice I had. I would recommend it!

Hey Joe, thanks for the reply. What is involved with the switch? I have an aftermarket rear trans support, and the newer splined slip yoke at the trans. Clutch, standard or hydraulic? Let me know. Grant.
