It was a 63-66 donor. I actually just swapped the whole darn frame 'cuz the donor was a shortbed and mine was a longbed '66 w/factory automatic. (It's my avatar truck) I do get some confused looks when I tell people that I swapped from auto to stick, but I just like the shifting, the sound, and the reliability. Even my 2wd Tacoma work truck is a stick and when I went looking for a new one with a manual trans, the Toyota dealer laughed and said it was "like finding a unicorn". I ended up with a new motor and clutch instead. I guess gear bangers are a vanishing breed.
