My truck came with a F body T-5 and a S10 tail housing, the issue here is that the speedo gear too far back for the S10 housing. This is easily resolved by making a shim and moving the gear forward (7-1/2" from the end). I just did this yesterday and works great.

I now have a spare NWC T-5 with mechanical speedo gear/electronic tail housing as well as a full NWC w/mechanical out that will be showing up in the classifieds shortly.
