1960 GMC 3/4 ton 5 speed manual convert

I am going to replace the V6 in this truck and put a 5 speed transmission manual. The issue is the fact that this thing has the E brake on the trans. What is the best choice for this upgrade? I do not mind keeping the brake in the floor. Just not sure which trans is best to use.

Mike

Not a T5, right? A TKO or something like that?

Try a Driveline brake or pinion brake setup
