which truck 5 speed is a bolt in? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought I saw on here where some people said a certain year truck had a manual 5 speed that was pretty much a bolt in. I would like to look into doing this swap on one of my projects if feasable. thanks...

I'm going to be running a nv3500 out of a 2wd 89 gmc. It bolted up to my 350 block, I just have to figure out the master and slave cylinder part but thats a few months off. Deffently have to move the trans mount

i replaced my sm465 with a NV4500 not a 100% bolt in but it was close. there is a page in the FAQ section that has all the details

thanks for the replys. I cant seem to get anything to come up in the FAQ when I search for it. Would you happen to have a link to it?
edit: Nevermind I did find it. Good write up. I just want to be clear, you did not have to convert to a hydraulic clutch did you?
