Re: 5-speed for 69 C10?
If you don't have too much power and want to use a T5 out of a S10 you might want to make sure the one you get takes a mechanical speedo cable. You can google and find out the year mechanical speedos ended but I think it was 1988.
Also check the gear ratios. In some of the 4 cyl T5s the overdrive is pretty small and probably not worth it. Really good T5 swap post here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=655828 Info on T5 gear ratios here: http://www.inliners.org/Jack/t5_page.html
