All V8 Camaro and Firebird T5s have a 26 spline input shaft, so you will need a 26 spline clutch disc.
All Camaro, Firebird, S10 and Sonoma T5s from 1992 and earlier have a Muncie bolt pattern where they bolt to the bell housing. Therefore, they can all be made to bolt up to a 1963-72 truck bell and still use the factory mechanical clutch linkage. I do not recommend using a Camaro or Firebird bell. It will be necessary to use a clutch disc with the correct number of splines.
A 1993 S10 or Sonoma T5 also has the correct Muncie pattern.
For a nice driving truck at highway speeds, it is very important to match the rear diff to the transmission overdrive gear. Otherwise the engine may tend to bog on hills.
