You wont need to swap the clutch, & the trans should bolt right up to your 67 bell. You will need to nut & bolt the bottom 2 on the trans to bell, as the truck trans takes the bolts on the bottom into the trans case. The spilne will be wrong on the slip yolk(no biggie). Next on the driveline....it depends on which 318 ,that you have, the long tail, will keep the drive shaft @ proper lenght. If you have a short tail 318, you will need to cut the front shaft, to fit the Saginaw trans. Longhorn
