That pic isn’t my trans. Mine currently has the shifter mounted far back on the tail housing. I’ve heard all you need is a tri-five Chevy bench seat shifter shaft to work in a square with a bench. But, I could replicate the set up above and hopefully use a straighter shaft.
I found this pic online with no other info. I think it would fit my C10 bench seat combo. I could always modify the Hurst/saginaw setup that I have waiting to go in.
Yes and I have a driveshaft that supposed fit my short bed. Gotta get or make a tri five style bench seat shifter stick. I have a truck 4 speed now. Hopefully straight forward swap.
I bought this last year. But, just picked it up today. It was at a buddies shop 2 hours away. I think I paid $200 with a bell housing. It is going into my C10.
I looked up my engine block 3 letter code. Turns out my 83 C10 has a 1975 350 rated at 165HP. It’s not a power house. It’s definitely been rebuilt. I wonder if it has the original cam.
My pics are the 3 above. The blue engine pics(not mine)are very similar. I would say my balancer is a bit further out. I don’t know when, but I’ll find time to work on it. I have my biggest food truck event of the year coming up. Super busy.
Not my pics. But, balancer is spaced out like the blue engine pic a my tab I calibrated like the other pic. Without the water pump everything is visible. Mines not. I will try to mark the line a little better.
