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:
