[1972BackInBlackC10]

just wondering if anyone has done this swap? curious as to how they got the hydraulic clutch to work and what they did for the speedo, pics or build thread would be great, i had an 88 chev short box lowered with a 5 speed and i drove the you know what off of it, probably the funnest truck i owned and the trans held up too, i miss the truck and would like to make my 72 a 5 speed so if anyone can shed some light on this swap please help, iv already read rays thread and there isnt anything on the swap just info on the transmissions

No problem.

Also, don't rule out the Jeep AX15 or the Toyota Supra Turbo R154 5 speeds.(basically the same trans) There is an adapter kit available to bolt them up to the Chevy bellhousings and they are supposed to be a pretty stout manual 5 speed. The adapter is a little pricey but it is milled and the kit comes with a GM bellhousing locator/throwout sleeve and mounting hardware.

I bought the kit and I have a Jeep 2WD AX15 trans, All I have to do is figure out what I want to put it in...

If you need a bell housing adapter ring get it from here:

The Novak one is $32.10 plus $15 shipping and the Dennymac one was $28 shipped when I bought mine.
