5 speed trans on a flethead

[bobgc]

some time ago I saw a 36 panel truck which had a five speed od trans in it and still had the closed drive shaft, anyone know how you do that? I am considering doing the same. I know you can do that with a s-10 trans but you have convert to open drive and I would rather not do that if I don't have to.

You can do it with a T5. There was a detailed thread on the setup, an adapter to the closed driveshaft is used in place of the normal tail cone piece.

I am not sure I know what a T5 is I have a 5 spd. from a 94 F350 will that work ?

T5s were used in S10 pickups, Camaros, Mustangs, and other cars/trucks. Anything can be made to work with anything if you spend enough time and money! The T5 is a proven approach with lots of supporting data.

and, as a bonus that f350 trans is worth a lot if its known to be good. that would finance a big chunk of a t5 project
