you will need to change your trannyhump also if it is an 87 pickup you will need the master cylinder forthe hydraulic clutch

Here's your list...

A-body slant six Z-bar 1967-1976
A-body clutch pedal 1967-1976 -you can pull your pedal assembly apart and install the pedal and you will need a clutch pedal spring too.
A-body linkage and bushings, etc...
Manual Tranny support for the motor (pull from truck)
Truck tranny OK, need to read article section by Dave Clements
on using the Truck tranny in a car...
May need shift stick, and shift rods from A/F body
You will need an 1967-1980 A-/F body "hump" for the shifter
Flywheel and bellhousing from the truck, you may need to
modify the truck throwout lever or get an A-body replacement
due to length/style
Bezel/Boot/Plate can be taken from Truck...
You should also take the driveline yoke so it matches the tranny, more than likely on the truck the spline count is like the A-727 tranny not the A-904 tranny...





Good Luck,

72 already has manual tranny...

Hump
Shifter from truck
A/F-body Hurst Shift stick
Bezel and boot from Truck
Bellhousing/tranny from truck
Throwout lever
Driveline yoke from truck
Keep your clutch and flywheel
A/F body A-833OD shift rods
Need to modify per Dave's section of article
Will need to modify driveline due to longer tranny...

-D.Idiot

If you're using an a833od out of a truck in an a- body that was a factory 3 speed all you have to do is fab a shifter base mounting plate and tweak your shift rod length as explained in the article. All he means about the yoke is that if you take the truck trans, take the truck yoke too. You'll just have to undo the front u-joint so you can leave the truck driveshaft in the junkyard. Take a pair of C-clip pliers and maybe a small hammer and prybar in addition to your other tools.

O and you may have to have your driveshaft shortened,... been a while since I read that 4speed article.

Edit: D-idiot beat me to it while I was typing... slowly...

How hard would it be to get a mopar a body tail shaft to fit on the tranny i wnat

You have to replace the mainshaft i the tranny, which involves full disassembly and pulling all the gears and bearings off the mainshaft, among other things...

If you don't want to do too much, then shop for an A/F body OD tranny ...

-D.Idiot

ill look around for one but will go ahead and get my bellhousing and shifter and and the hump ?

why do i need a or f body shift linkages and woultn the ones on truck tranny work

_________________

Because the Abody tranny puts the shifter at the end of the short tailshaft mount... the B/E body have two mounting pads, and the late truck OD tranny uses a plate that mounts to the front mounting pad and the shift rods aren't the same as the A/F body rods...you read the list in the 4 speed article Dave Clement wrote when he shoveled the Truck/Van/B/E body tranny in to his A-body Barracuda?

Basically if you aren't ready to do a lot of work, keep looking for the A/F body tranny, it bolts right in with the right bellhousing...

well I pulled off the shifter and left the rods yesterday ill go back eventually and get the bellhousing my shifter is hurt and in great shape 20 dollars I wish you guys could see my yard lots of slants to many automatics though hard to fidn manual parts
