So I picked up a 1978 wrecked pickup with a 5 speed in it. I have a 75 it is all going in.
Issue number one. The 5 speed is longer... duh. Neither the 78 or the 75 tranny cross members will come even close to lining up, well actually the 75 one is kind close. It needs notching and other craziness done to it.
Issue number two. Completely different wiring harness for the engine and the emissions ( air pump and such ) is also very different. This is a big headache right now.
What can you do to help you ask!? Well if you live in Sultan and have a plasma cutter and a welder or even just a good angle grinder with a cutoff wheel then I would love to talk to you
Also if you have any advice as far as running vacuum lines and/or removing the air pump and all unneeded peripherals I would also love to pick your brain...... mmmmm brains...
Thank you in advance:flipoff:
