Transmission swap options 3 spd column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ljackson · 05-11-2017, 06:47 AM

My son drives his '64 daily. He loves rowing through the gears on the column. He would like to have a synchronized transmission. I've been looking locally for months for a good transmission from a newer truck to swap out. No luck yet finding a 3 speed at a salvage yard. A forum member has offered a 3 speed from a '73 GMC V8 pickup. It looks different from most of the pics I have seen from the 68 – 87 trucks on the web. Can you tell me what is it? Will it be a direct fit? Am I correct in that if it came from a GM V8 pickup, it will work in the '64?
