NV3500 Install in a 78 C10

[bluex]

This is how I went about installing a 96/97 S10 NV3500 into my C10, this way worked for me and will probably be a little different if you use an older or newer transmission. I would stick with 96 and up though as they are the strongest versions of them.

Ok so to start I put in the clutch pedal box and pedals. I didn’t take many pictures of this, it took a while and you’ll have to remove a good portion of the interior. It helped to loosen the seat and slide it to the passenger side so you can lower the steering column as well. Yes I did use a much cheaper Z-bar (manual linkage) pedal assembly. I cleaned it up, put in new bushings and pedal pads while I was at it.
