Re: NV4500 into my '63 rustbucket
Now I was ready to install this big ole sucker. I pulled out the trusty old sm420 with the help of my brother (would have taken me three times as long without him on the installation), took out the clutch, removed the old pilot bushing, installed the new pilot bushing, put the clutch back in, set the clutch for and f*rd throwout bearing in, and bolted on the adapter plate with new grade 8 bolts. And yes, I hacked up my floor. This truck originally had the low hump. I cut it up a little to get the 4 speed in, and I cut where ever I needed without prejudice to get this to fit. Most of the hump is now gone after fitting the tranny in. I still need to make a floor for it.
