    1978 K10 auto to 4 spd manual swap

    Started making my bracket for the frame. Im using the dual shock bracker to attach it too because its right there and it uses 1/2" bolts. Seems to work pretty good. I pushed in the clutch a few times while someone turned the shaft and it disengages pretty good. Im sure I've got everything...

    I found this little metal strap in the ground around my garden lol (I often find random things) anyways I cut it in half and spot welded it to the automatic bracket and it works perfectly for my brake pedal switch.

    Marked out my clutch pushrod hole and realized I was off but not too far. I noticed these dimples for the boot. I drilled the dimples with a pilot hole and then I cleaned off my mark, remarmaked it and drilled the hole with a hole saw and I think it all looks pretty good. I may have exaggerated...

    Brake pedal switch pushing bracket is different from auto to manual. Ill probably modify this one to work.

    1978 K10 auto to 4 spd manual swap

    Somewhere i do have a somewhat correct cover in the way that its for a 4x4 manual but its for the 205/203 shifter hole. I need to modify existing either way and no room in budget or time to find one. Besides its not a show truck, I'm okay with the modifications.

    Got my template for hole mark. Its a little different and has history behind it, its a 1973 C20 low hump floor pan. My truck is a high hump but I think its perfect for marking the shifter hole. Im a little nervous because it doesn't totally align up but I think I got it close enough for a mark...

    Good Lord, It's a couple of Fords (1964 Ford 2000 & 1949 8N)

    Yes it is. And super corrosive. I don't know why it was used for so long.

    From what I understand, the n series gearing doesn't work for a cultivator attachment because of its gearing. However you can once you install a Sherman. Its like another transmission with another set of gears. I've seen one or 2 in person

    Good Lord, It's a couple of Fords (1964 Ford 2000 & 1949 8N)

    Yes they can. You can run a brush hog and box scraper etc. Can't run a cultivator unless you have a sherman in there. The 2000 might be able to run a cultivator??

    New plan. Im going to my folks place and I should have a tunnel cover over there i can use as my template for shifter. And I got that bearing in. I feel pretty good about this thing now. When I turn it its smooth. Before it made a little noise.

    Pulled up carpet and found some typical insulating material. However look at that round piece cutout. It looks to me to be the perfect shape for a 4 speed shifter hole? Was thinking of using this for my template only cutting 1-1/2 inch to the inside to begin with. Does that look right??

    Last minute ordered this bearing from the number on the old one. Should be here in an hour. Does anyone know what this is called? As in what shaft rides on it. I already filled my work station lol
