The 5 speed is longer, that will move the t-case support bracket further back. Just have to fab a new one or buy one. Either way there will be welding.
I'm cool with the welding and as lognas I can buy the bracket I think it's worth it. Do you think it will really benefit me in the long run?
Yes, you will get a lower 1st gear & an overdrive gear. Do you know what transmission your getting. Here is a link that will give you some spec's. http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/faq/parts/
the easiest for you would be a L52 5 speed, they are in the 83 models and will bolt right up no mods at allthe G52 or G54 and W56 will have to have the tcase crossmember moved backbut will all bolt to the engine with no problems you will need to get the clutch fork and throwout bearing for the tranny you get
I am doing this swap to from a 43 to L52 I was told that you had to grind down one of the shafts so you transfercase would fit?
best mod I have done to my 80 p/u , I bought a t/case from a 83 instead of grinding down the splines , whole job took me about 3 hours from start to finish , make sure you have help putting the L52 in , it is a heavy sob
SHe might have to modify his her floor boards a little for the shifters right?
