The rear is a 52 housing with a 57 open drive line center. The center will bolt in the 42 housing but it just depends if I want to switch to bendix brakes from the original huck. I have a set of bendix front backing plates already.

I have several truck bellhousings from all years. I would like to use the original for the pedals but I will have to adapt to make a t5 work. The 4spd I have is a crash box completely different than a sm420/465. I don't mind no sychros I have driven heavy trucks. Its the slow shifting and bad gear splits for the way I drive. The 3spd is a bolt in. and is geared the same as the 65 that I drove daily. I don't mind spinning the snot out of a 6cyl on the highway, they are tougher than people give them credit for.

The GMC bellhousing is the same as 235/261 a t5 will bolt to the 47 and newer. The center hole is the same up to around 68 when they switched to the sm465. 292 bellhousing is v8 pattern with angled mounts and it has side mounts on the engine. I have a 1st 55 crossmember and aftermarket engine mounts for that swap.

If I switch to the T5 it will involve either rigging the pedals or trans mounting . At this point I don't know what im going to do . I have all the parts to go in several directions with it.
