See how the arms fasten to the trans that's in the truck now. if they fasten the same way they should work. You want them pointing in the same direction that they do on the original trans too.

And save the box. you can try the speedometer without it and then figure out if you need it to adjust the speedometer. These days I run down the road with a hand held GPS to read the actual speed and compare with the speed on the speedometer then calculate the percentage of difference and in which direction and you would need gears in the box to compensate and correct that difference.
