The bottom line is, it's less work to install a T5.

Ive been strongly advised not to attempt an OD in my truck. Its very very expensive and it radially alters the truck. If keeping it stock means anything to you. I would think about a different ratio gearing but I'm actually quite content living with and driving the truck as it was originally built, bias ply, 6 v and all the other so called "annoyances". I like slowing down, relaxing, driving this truck on the back roads on the weekend is what its all about for me. Im on the freeway doing 80 plus all week long. LOL. The point of the truck is it take you back in time and take you to places you might not otherwise expect to go. Learn to live slow is the advice I've taken from ownership of this truck.
