Project "Man Pedal"

I figured I'd start a project thread for my manual tranny swap in my 86 K5. I'll get some pics this weekend. I believe I have all the parts collected to begin. Once I sell the 700r4/208 combo I will drop them.

I originally found a 1971 SM465/NP205 combo and bought the pedals and bell housing/hydro clutch from board members. Going to use them but I found another SM465/NP205 combo from an 1984 and will use them vice the 71 parts. I will be able to use my front driveshaft from the 700R4/208 but will need to fabricate one for the rear.

I am hoping to find some 8-lug axles(3/4 ton) before this is done so I can swap them in too.

Other plans:
-Raptor line the inside (interior is removed)
-new exhaust with ram horns purchased from a board member (currently has headers that prevent installing front drive shaft)
-has a small amount of lift via add-a-leafs front and rear (might replace with lift springs)
